Abstract

Male breast disease is uncommon. Men presenting with breast symptoms may represent unique diagnostic challenges for the radiologist, particularly if imaging findings are not classic for gynecomastia or carcinoma. In this paper we review 10 unusual male breast cases, 5 benign and 5 malignant, including the radiologic findings, differential diagnosis, pathology and management.

Keywords: Breast hemangioma; Breast pilomatricoma; Gynecomastia; Invasive breast carcinoma; Male breast.
