Melanoma of Nipple and Areola-Complex in a Male Breast – A Case Report with Review of Literature

Cutaneous malignant melanoma (CMM) rarely affects the nipple-areola complex (NAC), especially in males. We present a case of a 58-year-old man with a malignant melanoma of the NAC, treated with wide local excision and sentinel lymph node biopsy. Histopathology confirmed nodular melanoma with a Breslow thickness of 10 mm, Clark level V, and no lymph node involvement. No recurrence was observed after two years of follow-up. This case highlights the rarity and diagnostic challenges of melanoma in the NAC and emphasizes the importance of early detection and surgical management.
