“…Histological material was available in all cases so there was no question of these tumours being metastatic disease. Other authors have noted this phenomenon and reported an incidence varying from 7.5% to 12.5% in their series (Holleb et al, 1968, Scheike 1975Langlands et al, 1976). In all the series there has been a preponderance of carcinoma of the large intestine (45%).…”

“…Very few series have been reported from single Institutions (Holleb et al, 1968;Scheike, 19.75;Langlands et al, 1976) and the paucity of cases has led to several series being pooled in reviews of the world literature (Meyskens et al, 1976;Everson & Lippman 1979).…”

“…Thus, the number of reports including a reasonable number of patients is small (Holleb et al, 1968;Norris & Taylor, 1969; Ribeiro, 1977;Morgan, 1979;Carlsson et al, 1981;van Hazel et al, 1981 (unpublished); The Cancer Registry of Norway, 1975) and some of them are based on selected material (van Hazel et al, 1981 (unpublished)). …”

Summary Survival was analyzed during a follow-up period of up to 20 years in 406 (97%) of all 420 males in whom breast cancer was diagnosed in Sweden in 1960Sweden in -1978. After correction for the expected mortality in the general population, cumulated survival rates (with 95% confidence limits) of 66 (58.7-72.5)% and 52 (42.0-62.1)% at 5 and 10 years respectively were found. These figures and the general pattern of relative survival rates were in close accordance with those noted in a concomitant series of female breast cancer. There was a trend toward slightly improved survival rates during the period of study and the median survival times were 3.9, 4.8 and 7.2 years for patients diagnosed in 1960-64, 1965-69 and 1970-74 respectively. Age at diagnosis was seemingly unrelated to the long-term relative survival. We conclude that, except for a slightly higher mean age at diagnosis in males, there is a striking similarity in the natural history of breast cancer between men and women after initial treatment, with an excess death rate which still persists at long-term observation.

“…Thus, nipple retraction was found by Sachs (1941) in 33%/' of 205 cases and by Holleb et al (1968) Tavlor's cases ulceration was present. Some authors maintain that ulceration is independent of duraton of symptoms and size of tumour, and that it occurs earlv in the male because of the close vicinity to the skin (Wainwright, 1927: Gilbert, 1933: Sachs, 1941Huggins and Tavlor, 1955).…”

“…Fig. 1 Clemmesen, 1965Clemmesen, , 1969 According to most authors, a painless lump beneath the areola is the most common initial symptom in carcinoma of the male breast (Huggins and Taylor, 1955;Holleb et al, 1968). Nipple abnormality was the initial symptom in 29 cases (11%).…”

Summary.-A series of 257 cases of carcinoma of the male breast in Denmark during the period from 1 January 1943 to 1 July 1972 has been reviewed, and a number of clinical symptoms have been recorded and assessed.Male breast carcinoma comprised 0-80' of all breast carcinomata in Denmark.The average age was 65-2 years, which is considerably higher than in women. The median duration of symptoms was 6 months. In only 130o was a palpable tumour the single symptom present on referral. In 27 o ulceration was found on admission. However, ulceration was not, as commonly supposed, a particularly early manifestation of male breast cancer. It has been proved that ulceration is significantly related to duration of symptoms and size of tumour. According to the TNM clas-
