Metastatic Prostatic Adenocarcinoma Within a Primary Solid Papillary Carcinoma of the Male Breast

Abstract We report the case of a 78-year-old man who developed a breast mass 12 months after hormonal therapy for palliation of prostatic adenocarcinoma. On histologic and immunohistochemical examination, the breast tumor revealed a unique collision tumor composed of metastatic prostatic adenocarcinoma and solid papillary breast carcinoma.

Bloody Nipple Discharge

Papillary carcinoma in the male breast is uncommon. Here, we report a case of a large encapsulated papillary carcinoma (EPC) in a 62-year-old male. The patient presented with a left breast mass of 1-year duration and bloody nipple discharge for several days. Mammography and breast ultrasonography showed a large left breast mass. The initial biopsy demonstrated fat necrosis with acute and chronic inflammation only. Due to clinical suspicion, a repeat biopsy was performed and revealed scant fragments of papillary carcinoma in a background of inflammation. The patient underwent left total mastectomy. Grossly, the breast contained a 9.0 cm entirely cystic lesion lined by a hemorrhagic thick fibrotic wall. No solid area was identified in the cyst. The entire cyst wall was examined under microscopy; only a few sections with papillary carcinoma were identified. The lesion was confined to the cyst wall; so, a diagnosis of EPC was made. Compared to the previously reported EPC cases of male breast, the lesion of this case was unusually cystic, which making the diagnosis challenging. Therefore, awareness of this unusual feature, repeat biopsy when the pathology result is discordant, and extensive sampling of the lesion are essential for making the correct diagnosis and guiding patient management.

Breast Malignancies

Breast carcinoma in men is rare and intra-cystic papillary carcinoma of male breast is an extremelyrare entity. Papillary lesions of male breast comprise of the spectrum of lesions ranging from benignintraductal papilloma to intraductal papillary carcinoma and invasive papillary carcinoma. It occursmost commonly in the seventh decade of life and accounts for <1% of all breast malignancies. Thepresent case report is of a comparatively younger, 37 years old male who presented with a mass onlower quadrant (retro-areolar region) of the left breast.

Solid Papillary Carcinoma

Solid papillary breast carcinoma is a rare type of breast carcinoma. We present four cases which highlight the radiological and histological findings of solid papillary carcinoma. Mammogram supplemented with ultrasound played an important role in detecting solid papillary carcinomas which usually presents as intraductal lesions or intracystic mass with Doppler signal. Excision biopsy is a better option than core biopsy as the latter modality may not be representative and the diagnosis of solid papillary breast carcinoma may be missed.
