background and objective: male breast carcinoma (mbc) is an unusual form of neoplasia, representing 0.7 to 1 percent of all breast cancer cases. usually, the carcinoma affects patients after the sixth decade. the aim of this study was to evaluate the status of estrogen and progesterone receptors (er and pr) and prognostic factors (p53 and her-2/neu) in a series of male patients with breast canc...

introduction: the etiology of male breast cancer is unclear, but hormonal levels may play a role in development of this disease. it seems that the risk of male breast cancer related to increased lifelong exposure to estrogen or reduced androgen. the aim of this study was to investigate the expression of the steroid hormone receptors including estrogen receptor (er) and progesterone receptor (pr...

the male breast cancer (mbc) is a very rare neoplasm which accounts for 0.5-1% of the total cases of breast cancer. bilateral involvement is reported to occur in fewer than 2% of all the diagnosed cases of mbc, and synchronous tumors are very rare. because of its rarity, little is known about mbc etiology, its clinical findings and treatment. most patients present with a painless breast mass. t...

bilateral synchronous male breast cancer is very rare. a 63-year-old male presented with rapidly progressive enlarging bilateral breast masses without ulceration and bloody nipple discharge. synchronous bilateral breast cancer was diagnosed by fine needle aspiration cytology. pathology study revealed grade 2 invasive ductal carcinoma in both breasts. he underwent a bilateral modified radical ma...

male breast cancer is a rare disease with an increasing trend. due to limited information especially about the genetic basis of the disease in iran and the lower age of its onset, the disease requires more attention. the aim of this study was to screen the male patients with breast cancer for brca mutations as well as tissue markers of estrogen receptor (er), progesterone receptor (pr), human e...

the present research is a field study in order to investigate scale and ways of doing breast self examination (bse). 270 nurses employed by the medical sciences university’s hospitals related to the ministry of health, and medical education in city of tehran are selected and involved in research on the basis of simple random sampling. the data collection tool was a protrayed questionnaire which...

Male breast cancer, which represents only 1% of all breast cancers, is occasionally associated with a family history of breast cancer. Sporadic male breast cancers presenting with another primary breast cancer are extremely rare. In this article, we report on a 70-year-old male patient with bilateral multifocal and synchronous breast cancer and without a family history of breast cancer.
