ABSTRACT

Objective To probe the X-ray imaging features and clinical manifestations of some rare diseases in male breast.Methods The data of 12 patients with some rare diseases in male breast were collected.The X-ray manifestations and clinical features of the diseases were analyzed.Results The postoperative pathology showed the lipogranuloma in 1 patient,plasma cell mastitis in 2,secondary infection of epidermal cyst in 1,intraductal papilloma in 1,breast cancer in 6 (invasive ductal carcinoma in 4,poor-differentiated adenocarcinoma in 1,and mucinous carcinoma in 1),and breast lymphoma in 1.The digital mammography showed the intramammary solitary masses in 1 1 and multiple ones in 1.10 masses were located at the rear of the areola,and other 2 were opposite.Unclear edge of the lesion was found in 9,spiculation in 1,lobulation in 1,and micro-calcification in 1.Nipple retraction and areola skin thickening in 10 and enlarged axillary lymph node in 1 were also found.The total accurate rate of X-ray diagnosis was 41% (5/12),while that of breast cancer was 83.3%.The total misdiagnosis rate was 59% (7/12),and that of benign lesion was 80% (4/5).Conclusion The diseases in male breast are rare and various,and the X-ray and clinical manifestations are not specific.
