Abstract

Male breastcarcinoma is rare as compared to female counterpart. Pure mucinous carcinoma is an extremely rare histological subtype accounting for less than 1% of male breast cancers. So far very few cases of pure mucinous carcinoma of male breast have been reported in the literature. Fine-needle aspiration cytology is a well-established procedure for the evaluation of female breast masses but the diagnosis of malignancy in aspirates from male breast masses is rare. In the present study, we report a case of puremucinous carcinoma in a 70 year old malediagnosed by fine-needle aspiration and confirmed by histopathology. Immunohistochemicalstaining for hormonal study was done.
