GONZALEZ, Claudia et al. Carcinoma papilar intraquístico no invasivo de mama en el hombre: Reporte de un caso. Rev. venez. oncol. [online]. 2009, vol.21, n.1, pp.36-39. ISSN 0798-0582.

The intracystic papillary carcinoma forms a small subgroup of non invasive breast cancer comprising 0.5 % to 1.6 % of all breast cancer. Papillary carcinomas can be divided into invasive and noninvasive forms and this are further subdivided into two types, a diffuse form (the papillary variant of ductal in situ carcinoma) and a localized form, (intracystic papillary carcinomas) that is a very uncommon presentation form with a favorable prognosis. The diagnosis in a male is therefore an extremely rare presentation of breast cancer. We present a case of noninvasive intracystic papillary carcinoma of the breast in a 63 year male. The palpable mass was localized in the retroareolar region of the left breast and was treated with partial mastectomy.
