Breast cancer in men is an uncommon pathology, representing less than 1 % of diagnosed breast cancers, so the available scientific information is limited to isolated cases. We present the case of a 53-year-old patient who comes to a consultation for a tumor in the left breast of 2 years of evolution, not painful, that reaches 6 cm. The requested imaging studies report that it is a complex cyst. Due to the high suspicion of being a malignant neoplastic pathology, a mastectomy is performed whose pathological anatomy confirms a 65 mm intracystic carcinoma with a 4mm infiltrating component. In lymph node emptying, no metastases are identified. In the literature the infiltrating ductal carcinoma is cited as the most representative subtype. The same diagnostic and therapeutic criteria as in female breast pathology are followed.
