| description | Breast cancer in males is rare. Luminal A is the predominant subtype in male breast cancer. Clinical data on triple negative breast cancer in male patients is sparse. This case report will add to the literature on male breast cancers. This is a rare case of a 60-year-old male patient who was diagnosed to have locally advanced breast cancer of triple negative (basal-like) subtype. He received eight cycles of neoadjuvant chemotherapy. He later underwent modified radical mastectomy followed by adjuvant radiotherapy and 6 months of adjuvant capecitabine. He is on regular follow-up for the past 3 years. |
