• Abstract:

  Background: Breast cancer in men is rare (1%) and the papillary carcinoma subtype represents 2-3% of these cases. In general, therapeutic management is based on surgery and may be associated with other adjuvant treatments. However, the therapy is still debatable, as there are few studies on this type of injury, especially in the male population. Aims: In this study, we report a case of Papillary Breast Cancer in male breast, in an oncology health unit in the city of Manaus/AM (Brazil). Methods: The sample consisted of a male patient who underwent medical treatment at the Amazonas Oncology Control Center Foundation, aged 50-70 years, with breast cancer, papillary pattern. Conclusion: There is still little information described in the medical literature about this entity, with regard to diagnostic and therapeutic aspects. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out further studies in this area to assist in medical management and patient prognosis.
