Abstract

Male breast cancer is expected to make up about 1% of new breast cancer cases in 2018, with an estimated 2,550 new male breast cancer cases and 480 deaths [1-3]. Men receive a diagnosis of breast cancer approximately 10 years later than women, therefore often presenting with more advanced disease, with a median age at diagnosis of 67 years of age [2, 4, 5]. In this video, we will review the normal development and anatomy of the male breast, the histological subtypes of male breast cancer, imaging considerations when working up male breast cancer, the clinical presentation of male breast cancer, the imaging appearance of male breast cancer, the staging classification, as well as prognosis and therapy of male breast cancer.

Keywords: male breast cancer, mortality, survival.
