Case Rep Oncol. 2011 May;4(2):281-6. doi: 10.1159/000328995. Epub 2011 May 25.

Abstract

Breast cancer in men is relatively rare and its coexistence with other primary non-breast cancers exceptional. Here, we report the case of a 50-year-old man who presented with symptoms of rectal adenocarcinoma and in whom a synchronous, asymptomatic cancer of the left breast was found incidentally at physical examination.

Keywords: Colorectal carcinoma; Male breast cancer; Second primary cancer; Synchronous cancer.
