Abstract

This case highlights the importance of early detection and treatment of breast abnormalities in men. Its rare mixed histological phenotype enriches MBC case literature and provides a reference for the diagnosis and treatment of special subtypes. It also calls for enhanced public education on male breast health, development of gender-specific precise diagnostic and therapeutic strategies, and clinicians' attention to patients' stigma with targeted psychological counseling to reduce diagnostic delays.
