Abstract
Breast carcinoma in males is rare and accounts for 0.5-1.5% of all breast carcinomas. Intracystic breast carcinoma is distinctly uncommon and represents approximately 5-7.5% of all breast cancers in males. On physical examination and radiologic imaging, these lesions often appear benign; however, the presence of an intracystic solid component is typical and should raise the suspicion of carcinoma. We report an unusual case of intracystic breast carcinoma presenting in a male and review the literature.
