    Abstract:
    Breast cancer is 100 times less frequent in males than in femalees. In this series the predominant histological form clearly was adenocarcinoma, present in 69 out of 73 patients. The patients' age varied from 7 to 82 years. In 91% of the cases, the malignancy presented as a painless, isolated tumour, often associated with retraction of the nipple. After 5 years 68% of patients operated upon immediately after diagnosis and 35% of those initially treated by radiations were still alive, as were 72% of patients with less than 7 cm tumours and 44.8% of those with larger tumours. It appears that breast cancer in males is less aggressive than is usually believed. Its histological features and its treatment are comparable to those of femal breast cancer.
