Background: Breast cancer is the
leading malignancy in women, but it is relatively rare in men, accounting for
1% of all breast cancers. In Morocco, its incidence is 0.8/ 100,000 in men.
This condition epidemiology, therapeutic and prognostic remains unknown given
the scarcity of reported series. The objective of this work is to identify the
epidemiological, clinical, pathological and therapeutic of this cancer in men. Results:
Six patients were diagnosed with breast cancer with a ratio of 6/1277 cases. The mean age
of patients was 63.3 ¡À 9.7 ans;
the most common histological type was invasive ductal carcinoma (83.3%). The
grade 2 SBR has a majority (66.7%), while that of SBR 3 is less represented
(33.3%). A positive estrogen receptor (66.7% of cases) and progesterone (50.0%
of cases) was noted. The HER2 receptor is overexpressed in 25% of cases. The
treatment was essentially surgical (83.3%). Additional treatment included
adjuvant chemotherapy (50.0%), radiotherapy (50.0%) and hormonal therapy
(16.7%) was administered. Discussion/Conclusion: Breast cancer in men is rare
and appears to have a very close clinical, histological characteristics and
prognosis to those of elderly women. The diagnosis is usually late and tumors
are treated in advanced stages. An improved prognosis requires better awareness
for early detection.
