Abstract

Male breast cancer is rare, accounting for approximately 1% of breast cancers. Metastasis from extra-mammary malignancy to the breast in men is extremely rare. The most common primary tumors that metastasize to the breast in male are prostate, lung, stomach, colorectal cancer, melanoma, and sarcoma. To our knowledge, only a few cases of bladder cancer presenting with metastasis to the male breast have been reported, and metastasis with infiltration rather than mass is extremely rare. We report imaging findings on mammography and ultrasonography in a 59-year-old male with bladder cancer metastatic to the breast.

남성 유방암은 드물며 유방암의 약 1%를 차지한다. 유방 외 악성 종양이 남성 유방으로의 전이는 매우 드물다. 남자에서 유방으로 전이되는 가장 흔한 원발성 종양은 전립선암, 폐암, 위암, 대장암, 흑색종 및 육종이다. 남자에서 방광암의 유방으로의 전이 유방암은 드물게 보고되었고, 종괴가 아닌 침윤성 소견의 전이 소견을 보이는 경우는 매우 드물다. 방광암이 유방으로 전이된 59세 남자 환자의 유방촬영술 및 초음파에서의 영상 소견을 보고하고자 한다.
