Pure mucinous carcinoma in male breast with axillary lymph node metastasis


,
Abstract

Male breast carcinoma is rare as compared to female counterpart accounting for <1% cancers in men. Various studies have shown that prognosis of breast carcinoma in males is poor than females. Moreover, mucinous carcinoma is an extremely rare histological subtype, and only ten cases are reported in literature. Metastasis to lymph nodes is rare event and also carries good prognosis. We hereby report a case of pure mucinous carcinoma in a 72-year-old male with metastasis to axillary lymph nodes. This case will add the rare reports in literature of this rare tumor.
