Male breast disease comprises a wide spectrum of benign and malignant processes. We present the spectrum of diseases encountered at our institution over the past 7 years (2007-2013) and correlate their radiological and histopathological appearances. Gynaecomastia is the most frequently encountered disease due to its association with a variety of causes. Male breast malignancies, though rare, must be considered. The most frequently encountered pathological characteristic is invasive and the predominant histologic subtypes are infiltrating ductal carcinomas.

Background: There is no generally accepted standard radiological approach to male breast diseases. Ultrasonography and mammography are the most preferred methods for imaging. The purpose of this study is to investigate the diagnostic performances of only single-view (mediolateral oblique) mammography and routine two-view mammography in the male breast diseases and also to evaluate the contribution of ultrasonography to the diagnosis and the management of the disease.Methods: Three hundred-twenty male patients’ breast imaging findings were evaluated retrospectively. Only mediolateral oblique and routine two-view mammograms were re-evaluated four months apart by two breast radiologists. The kappa value was calculated to measure consistency between two groups. The sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive value, and detection accuracy of malignancy were calculated for both mammographic examinations and ultrasonography.Results: The accuracy of detection of malignant breast masses according to mediolateral oblique and two-view mammograms, and ultrasonography were 96.3 %, 97.5 %, and 99.5 %, respectively. Consistency between single-view and two-view mammograms was excellent (? = 0.967) and statistically significant (p=0.000). Two-view mammograms did not make any contribution to single-view mammograms.Conclusion: Only mediolateral oblique mammogram is sufficient in terms of characterization, spread and localization of the lesion, as long as mastectomy is preferred and the findings are supported by ultrasonography. Since there is no diagnostic performance difference, only mediolateral oblique view would protect from the potential adverse effects of extra radiation exposure and this is an important advantage.

Estrogenic Chemicals

In the past several decades, the incidence of two male breast diseases, gynecomastia and male breast cancer, have increased in human populations. Whereas male breast cancer remains a rare disease, gynecomastia, a condition that arises due to abnormal development and growth of the male breast epithelium, is fairly common. In this review, we present the male mouse mammary gland as a potential model to understand human male breast diseases. Even though the male mouse typically lacks nipples, the male retains a small mammary rudiment with epithelium that is highly sensitive to estrogenic chemicals during the perinatal and peripubertal periods. In just the last few years, our understanding of the biology of the male mouse mammary gland has expanded. Researchers have characterized the complexity and size of the male mammary epithelium across the life course. Studies have documented that the male mouse mammary gland has left-right asymmetric morphologies, as well as asymmetries in the responsiveness of the left and right glands to estrogens. Recent studies have also revealed that the effect of xenoestrogens on the male mammary gland can differ based on the timing of evaluation (prior to puberty, in puberty, and in adulthood) and the administered dose. Based on the available evidence, we argue that there is a strong case that estrogenic chemicals promote the growth of the male mouse epithelium, consistent with human gynecomastia. We also argue that these outcomes should be characterized as adverse effects and should be considered in regulatory decision-making.

Background: Though relatively uncommon compared to diseases of the female breast, diseases of the male breast do occur, but are poorly studied. These range from benign lesions to malignant disease. The purpose of this study was to enumerate the various disorders of the male breast encountered in our practice, so as to develop a better understanding of the clinicopathological profile of these conditions.Methods: This was a retrospective study conducted in the Department of Surgery, KIMS Hospital, Bangalore, from September 2017 to September 2018. Male patients treated for disorders of the breast were included in the study. The clinical profile of the patients and the disease conditions were studied.Results: 21 patients were included in the study. The most common presentation was due to swelling, pain or lump in the breast. The most commonly encountered condition was gynaecomastia (66.66%). Primary malignancy of the breast was encountered in 2 cases.Conclusions: The male breast is subjected to various disease conditions. Most presentations are due to aesthetic defects. Rarely, primary malignancy can develop in the male breast. The breast is an often-neglected part of the male anatomy, and hence patients often present late with complications.
