Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
Male breast cancer is rare compared to its female counterpart representing less than 1% of cancer in men. Moreover, mucinous carcinoma of the male breast is an extremely rare histological subtype of malignancy. Paget's disease of the nipple is rarely observed in males.
Case report
Herein, we describe a unique case of an 86 years old man with mucinous breast cancer presenting as Paget's disease of the nipple. According to the immunohistochemical evaluation the neoplastic cells were positive for estrogen (ER) and progesterone receptors (PR).
Conclusion
To our best knowledge this is the first case of mucinous male breast cancer presenting as Paget's disease of the nipple.
