Carcinoma of the male breast – a rare entity

Carcinoma in the male breast is not very common, the incidence being less than 1% of the incidence in women. We present the case of a 56 year male patient, who came with the complaints of swelling in the left nipple with an adjacent sinus tract, discharging blood stained pus. The histopathological diagnosis of a low grade, Invasive Ductal Carcinoma was given with involvement of the nipple. ER, PR and Her 2 neu were positive.
