Abstract BackgroundAccessory breast carcinoma and sweat gland carcinoma associated with extramammary Paget’s disease of the axilla in male are rare cases. In clinical diagnosis and treatment, it is necessary to determine the disease carefully and make a reasonable treatment strategy according to the patient’s own situation.Case presentationWe reported two male cases of special tumor with axillary mass as initial clinical symptom, one was diagnosed as accessory breast cancer and the other was diagnosed as sweat gland cancer associated with extramammary Paget’s disease. We did personalized treatment for the two diseases, hoping to provide a reference for the diagnosis and management of diseases with axillary nodules as the initial symptoms.ConclusionsThe reports of these two cases have the potential to provide reference and corresponding thinking for clinical differentiation of axillary lymphadenopathy caused by different causes and subsequent treatment. These two cases may further enrich the database of rare cases and provide some ideas for the treatment of axillary lymphadenopathy caused by different causes.
