Abstract :
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 mastectomy followed by
chemotherapy and hormone therapy. The importance of this case report is to create
increased attention to the fact that, although rare, breast cancer can occur in males. Early
presentation and compliance with treatment modality provide a better outcome.
