A CASE OF GIANT INTRACYSTIC AND NON-INVASIVE CARCINOMA OF THE MALE BREAST

Abstract

A rare case of giant intracystic and non-invasive carcinoma of the male breast is reported. A 76-year-old man was seen at the hospital because of a left breast mass. A huge and hard mass, mesuring 10 by 10cm in size, was located in the entire left breast. An aspiration cytologic examination revealed class IV. A ultrasonography revealed a multi-cystic tumor and a mixed pattern. These findings offered a suspicion of breast carcinoma. An intraoperative frozen section diagnosis after tumorectomy indicated ductal carcinoma. Therefore, a modified radical mastectomy was performed. Postoperative pathological examination revealed noninvasive ductal carcinoma. He has been recurrence free for 4 months after the operation without any adjuvant therapy.
