“…In our study, 55 out of 68 cases (80.9%) were of gynaecomastia and was observed more on the right side, this was in contrast to the studies conducted by Das et al 8 Kirana Pailoor et al 10 found 75% cases of gynaecomastia in a study of 40 cases of FNAC of male breast lesions, Jagannath et al 11 found 91% cases of gynaecomastia in a study of 112 cases of FNAC of male breast lesions, which was almost similar to the result found in our study.…”

BACKGROUNDFine needle aspiration cytology is known to have a well-established role in the diagnosis and management of palpable breast lumps. Breast carcinoma is the second most common cause of death in female patients, male breast carcinoma is rare, accounting for less than 1% of all breast cancers and all cancers in men. Male breast masses are rarely aspirated and hence there is limited cytopathological experience.The aim of our study is to determine the efficacy of FNAC in the diagnosis of male breast lesions.

Background: Though male breast lesions are infrequently studied and documented, a wide variety of lesions afflict it. Conditions and entities that affect the female breast also occur in the male breast. However, lobular lesions are seldom seen in male breasts because of absence of terminal differentiation induced by progesterone. So far, there have been very few studies on the spectrum of male breast lesions and most of them are done either on aspiration smears or on biopsies. Therefore, in the present study, we aimed to analyse the spectrum of different types of male breast lesions at our tertiary care centre both on aspiration cytology smears and histological specimens as well as biopsies. Objectives: To study the spectrum of male breast lesions encountered in histopathology and cytology lab. Study Design: Data on male breast lesions between 2010 to 2015 were retrieved from the records of Kasturba Medical College, Mangalore. The cytological and histological features were studied and the number of benign and malignant cases recorded. Cytohistologic correlation, wherever available was done. Immunohistochemistry was studied in malignancies wherever available. Results: Out of 7700 breast lumps retrieved, 120 (1.55%) male breast lesions were identified. Of these, 54 were diagnosed by FNAC and 76 lesions on surgical specimens. On FNAC, 49 were benign and 5 malignant. The 76 cases diagnosed on histology had 70 benign and 6 malignant lesions. The benign lesions were gynecomastia, inflammatory masses, fibroadenoma and intraductal papillomas. Malignant lesions included infiltrating ductal carcinoma (NOS), papillary and metastatic carcinoma with 60% showing ER positivity. Ten of these cases had both cytology and histology. Conclusion: While gynaecomastia and invasive ductal cancer were the commonest lesions encountered in the male breast, there were other rarer benign and malignant lesions.

“…It is responsible for <0.1% of men dying from any malignancy (24). In earlier studies on male breast pathologies, its malignant etiology was recorded in 2.5%-28.4% of the cases (1,4,7,18,20,25). Risk factors include older age, family history of breast cancer, radiation exposure, cryptorchidism, testicular trauma, Klinefelter syndrome, liver disease, and BRCA2 gene mutation.…”

Morphologically, the male breasts, like its female counter organs, consist of glandular and adipose tissues. However, in men, glandular units are composed of ducts only, which are typically circumscribed underneath the nipple-areolar complex (1). Pathological lesions in male breasts are not common. Gynecomastia is the most common lesion in men. Its prevalence varies from 32% to 65% with respect to age groups. In postmortem male breast specimens, gynecomastia has been reported in 45%-50% of the cases (2). Similarly, carcinomas rarely occur in male breasts. It accounts for 1% of all breast cancer cases arising in both sexes, and approximately 1% of all malignancies occur in men. Clinically, it resembles gynecomastia as well as any other benign pathological lesions associated with male breast enlargement. Therefore, urgent discrimination of these two contrasting pathological entities is necessary (3). For this purpose, core needle biopsy and the recently amended vacuum-assisted breast biopsy are the most useful diagnostic method. However, as the most common male breast pathology, gynecomastia is best cured conservatively; it is therefore unreasonable to consider biopsy as the primary diagnostic intervention. On the contrary, fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) provides prompt and precise diagnoses economically and conveniently (4, 5). This study aimed to cytologically evaluate various pathological lesions that affect the male breasts and to validate the diagnostic accuracy of FNAC against the histopathology wherever practicable.
