| description | The male breast is a non-functional and rudimentary organ, but similarly to the female breast,
it can be affected by various diseases. In contrast to female breast cancer, male breast cancer
has a low incidence, and there is no established breast cancer screening program for male patients.
Therefore, the diagnostic evaluation is usually performed in male patients with symptoms
such as palpability or pain in the breasts. Furthermore, most adult male patients who visit
breast clinics sometimes present with not only breast symptoms but also axillary symptoms,
and both the breast and axilla are usually examined during breast ultrasonography in daily
clinical practice. The purpose of this pictorial essay was to present the sonographic features of
various palpable breast and axillary lesions in adult male patients. |
