Abstract

Over the past 2 decades, the percentage of men presenting with breast complaints has increased from 0.8% to 2.4%, and men now account for 1% of all breast cancer cases. The most common male breast mass is gynecomastia, followed by lipoma and epidermal inclusion cysts. Because there is a paucity of parenchyma as compared with the female breast, the malignancy rapidly progresses to the next stage, with the appearance of secondary signs like nipple retraction, fixation to deeper tissues, skin ulceration or adenopathy. Diagnostic evaluation is needed only when the palpable mass is unilateral, hard, fixed, peripheral to the nipple, or associated with nipple discharge, skin changes, or lymphadenopathy. Male breast cancer usually occurs in a subareolar location or is positioned eccentric to the nipple; occasionally, it occurs in a peripheral position. Secondary signs like skin thickening, nipple retraction, and axillary lymphadenopathy may be seen. Microcalcifications can occur. Mammography can accurately distinguish between malignant and benign male breast disease. Radiologists are generally less familiar with breast disease in males compared with females. In this article, we discuss the clinical, and mammographic features of a variety of benign and malignant diseases that can occur in the male breast.

Özet

Son yirmi yılda meme şikayeti olan erkeklerin oranı %0,8den %2,4e yükselmiştir ve günümüzde erkeklerde görülen meme kanseri tüm meme kanseri vakalarının % 1ini oluşturmaktadır. Erkek memesinde en sık görülen kitle jinekomastidir, onu lipom ve epidermal inklüzyon kistleri takip eder. Kadın memesi ile karşılaştırıldığında parankim yetersiz kaldığı için erkeklerde meme maligniteleri hızla bir sonraki evreye ilerler, meme başı retraksiyonu, derin dokulara fiksasyon, deri ülserayonu ve adenopati gibi sekonder belirtiler görülebilir. Bu nedenle palpe edilebilen, unilateral, sert, fikse, meme uçununun periferinde ve/veya meme akıntısı, deri değişimi ya da lenfadenopati ile ilişkili bir kitle varlığında tanısal değerlendirme yapılmalıdır. Erkek meme kanserleri genellikle subareolar lokasyonda veya meme başında değişikliğe neden olan bir konumda oluşur; nadiren periferal yerleşimlidir. Mamografide deri kalınlaşması, meme başı retraksiyonu, aksiller lenfadenopti gibi ikincil bulgular ve mikrokalsifikasyonlar görülebilir. Mamografi, malign ve benign erkek meme hastalıklarının ayrımında sıklıkla önemli bir yere sahiptir ve önemi giderek artmaktadır. Radyologlar kadın meme hastalıkları ile kıyaslandığında erkek meme hastalıklarına daha az aşinadır. Bu yazıda erkek memesinde ortaya çıkan çeşitli malign ve benign oluşumları ve bunların mamografik ve klinik bulgularını inceleyeceğiz.
