Abstract EN
Breast cancer in men is uncommon, and even more rare is the simultaneous presentation of two different malignancies.
A 39-year-old man was diagnosed with both breast cancer and axillary lymphoma.
Familiar history revealed that his mother died because of breast cancer.
The patient underwent fine needle aspiration leading to the diagnosis of malignant lesion.
Modified radical mastectomy was performed.
Histology revealed an infiltrating ductal carcinoma 2.8 cm wide, grade 2, with vascular and lymphatic invasion.
Surprisingly, one of the second level nodes was confirmed as a high-grade large B cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
No family inheritance or gene mutations (BRCA 1 and 2) were found.
The patient underwent local radiotherapy, followed by 6 chemotherapy courses (RCHOP) and treatment with tamoxifen 20 mg/daily.
To our knowledge, this is the first case reported in literature of male breast cancer and axillary lymphoma simultaneously confirmed in the same patient.
