Breast cancer in men has traditionally been thought to be substantially different from that in women. As more becomes known about this relatively rare entity, the similarities between genders become more striking than the differences. Carcinoma of the male breast is an uncommon disease occurring in less than 1% of all breast cancers. Male breast carcinoma is staged similarly to female breast cancer using the American Joint Committee Clinical Staging System. As in women, axillary nodal status is the strongest predictor of outcome. Distant metastasis to bones, soft tissue, lungs, and liver have been widely reported in men with breast cancer. This case report provides a rather rare presentation of a man with breast carcinoma with bilateral orbital metastasis as an initial clinical presentation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
