Invasive lobular carcinoma of the male breast : a rare histology of an uncommon disease

Abstract EN

Male breast carcinoma is a rare malignancy comprising less than 1 % of all breast cancers.

It is a serious disease with most patients presenting in advanced stages.

Infiltrating ductal carcinoma is the most common histology while lobular carcinoma represents less than 1 % of all these tumors.

We report a case of locally advanced lobular carcinoma of breast in a 60 year old male.
