Deskripsi
Male breast cancer is rare, with a lifetime risk of 1 in 833 males, with bilateral male breast cancer being extremely uncommon. This report describes a rare case of bilateral breast cancer in a 74-year-old male who presented with a breast lump and incidental calcifications in the contralateral breast. This case highlights the similarities, as well as differences, in presentation and imaging features of breast cancer in males and females. It also demonstrates how Magnetic Resonance Imaging can be a useful tool for pre-treatment planning of certain male breast cancers, especially to evaluate disease extent and to identify contralateral tumor.
