Bilateral male breast cancer and prostate cancer: a case report

Jpn J Clin Oncol. 2000 Apr;30(4):188-90. doi: 10.1093/jjco/hyd050.

Abstract

Male breast cancer, consisting only 1% of all breast cancers, is occasionally associated with other primary malignancies, especially in patients with familial breast cancer history. Sporadic male breast cancers with another primary tumor are extremely rare. We report a 67-year-old male with asynchronous bilateral breast cancer and prostate cancer without familial breast cancer history.
