Male breast cancer presenting in accessory axillary breast

J Clin Ultrasound. 2022 Sep;50(7):955-957. doi: 10.1002/jcu.23250. Epub 2022 Jun 15.

Abstract

We present a rare case of male axillary accessory breast cancer, which is extremely rare and is indistinguishable from lymphadenopathy and other malignancies, such as lymphoma and skin-derived tumors. Clinicians should consider accessory breast cancer in the differential diagnosis even in men, particularly in those who present with superficially located tumors with adjacent accessory breast tissue.

Keywords: axilla; breast neoplasms; cancer; male.
