“…There are several conditions suggested as potentially responsible for the development of IPs in men, although nothing has been unequivocally proved. Gynaecomastia, misuse of anabolic steroids (through the consequent gynaecomastia or not) [10], increased serum prolactine levels [5], phenothiazine therapy (which is known to increase prolactine levels) and prolonged phenothiazine treatment [8] have all been reported as triggering factors for the development of IPs in the male breast. There is also a report of a case of an 11-year-old boy with in IP, after partial excision of a malignant brain tumour, following radiotherapy and chemotherapy [9].…”

Intraductal papilloma is a benign neoplasm rarely found in the male breast. In this report, we present the case of a 55-year-old Caucasian man who presented with spontaneous bloody nipple discharge of the right breast. Ultrasonic and mammographic investigations revealed a sub-centimetre solid mass within a dilated duct. He underwent a total duct excision. Histopathologic examination confirmed a benign intraductal papilloma with no evidence of atypia or malignancy. A systematic review of the literature revealed six published cases of intraductal papillomas in men. Clinical presentation is the same as in women with single duct blood stained discharge being the most common presenting symptom. Surgical excision offers both histologic confirmation and definitive treatment. There is one case where the lump was not removed and progressed to malignancy years later. Male intraductal papillomas may be associated to medical treatments with hormonal activity given for other reasons or endocrine abnormalities.

“…Intraductal or intracystic papilloma (IP) is a rare benign male breast mass clinically presents as a solitary, painful or painless mass located in the central or subareolar area of the breast with or without nipple discharge, and histologically characterized by a finger-like fibro-vascular cores covered by an epithelial and myoepithelial cell layer. [ 5 , 19 , 20 ] IPs occur as a result of blockage of the lactiferous duct secondary to secretions from papilloma. [ 21 ]…”

“…Mammographic features of papillomas include circumscribed, sometimes partly obscured, and iso to hyperdense subareolar masses with or without microcalcifications. [ 19 , 20 ] US is more sensitive in detecting papillomas [ Figure 2a ], compared to mammography or galactography [ Figure 2b ], [ 5 ] with features including oval, circumscribed intraductal hypoechoic mass with intralesional or perilesional vascularity on color Doppler. Cystic changes may also be present [ Figure 2c ], [ 5 , 19 , 21 ] .…”

Most of male breast masses are benign with gynecomastia being the most common entity encountered. Primary male breast cancer accounts for less than 1% of the total number of breast cancer. Male breast can be affected by a variety of conditions affecting the female breast with less frequency due to the lack of hormonal influence and consequent glandular sub-development. Imaging features of male breast masses are quite similar to the female breast. Therefore, using the knowledge of the female breast and applying it may help in the diagnosis and management of male breast abnormalities. In this article, we aim to review a variety of unusual male breast masses. We discuss the demographics of male breast tumors, describe the diagnostic algorithm for evaluating male breast masses, and review the imaging features of rare breast masses and mimickers of male breast cancer.
