Abstract

Carcinoma of male breast is a rare cancer in male and accounts for less than 1% of all breast cancers. Affected men are usually in their 7th or 8th decade. In a study in India 0.7% of breast carcinoma is seen in men. Predisposing factors include genetic factors, exposure to radiation and excess estrogen. High exposure to estrogen may result from excess estrogen conditions or due to androgen deficiency states.
