Abstract
Papillary carcinoma in the male breast is uncommon. Here, we report a case of a large encapsulated papillary carcinoma (EPC) in a 62-year-old male. The patient presented with a left breast mass of 1-year duration and bloody nipple discharge for several days. Mammography and breast ultrasonography showed a large left breast mass. The initial biopsy demonstrated fat necrosis with acute and chronic inflammation only. Due to clinical suspicion, a repeat biopsy was performed and revealed scant fragments of papillary carcinoma in a background of inflammation. The patient underwent left total mastectomy. Grossly, the breast contained a 9.0 cm entirely cystic lesion lined by a hemorrhagic thick fibrotic wall. No solid area was identified in the cyst. The entire cyst wall was examined under microscopy; only a few sections with papillary carcinoma were identified. The lesion was confined to the cyst wall; so, a diagnosis of EPC was made. Compared to the previously reported EPC cases of male breast, the lesion of this case was unusually cystic, which making the diagnosis challenging. Therefore, awareness of this unusual feature, repeat biopsy when the pathology result is discordant, and extensive sampling of the lesion are essential for making the correct diagnosis and guiding patient management.

Abstract
Intracystic papillary carcinoma (IPC) is a rare tumor with good prognosis that occurs in only 5% to 7.5% of male breast cancer. We report a case of a 46-year-old man who presented a brown nipple discharge a few months ago. He had a bilateral IPC and an invasive ductal carcinoma on the right breast. A double mastectomy was then performed with a bilateral sentinel lymph node biopsy, and he received chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and hormonotherapy. Two years after the diagnosis, the patient recovered and was free of recurrence. Considering the scarcity of this tumor type, we conducted a systematic literature review on the PubMed of all the cases of IPC in men. The clinical presentation, imaging, and treatment of the 43 case reports from the 41 articles selected were described. Furthermore, no clear guidelines for IPC management are available. Conservative surgery should also be preferred, and a sentinel lymph node biopsy should be performed systematically. Moreover, radiotherapy should be proposed in the case of conservative surgery, and hormone therapy could be proposed in the case of invasive IPC or IPC associated with a ductal carcinoma in situ.

SAGE Open Med Case Rep 2020; 8:2050313X20932005.

Abstract
A 60-year-old male presented with a history of a relatively hard and cystic right chest mass that had gradually increased in size, with subsequent skin erosion, exudate and hemorrhage. The cytologic specimens from a cyst fluid contained a large number of sheet-like or papillary clusters of atypical cuboidal to columnar epithelial cells with loss of myoepithelial components, in a severely inflammatory background with scattered siderophages. We first interpreted it as a carcinoma, but could not completely exclude out the possibilities of benign. Tumor extirpation was performed, and a gross examination of the neoplasm revealed a giant, cystic and partly solid papillary-projected tumor lesion, with a gray-whitish cut surface, associated focally with skin invasion, measuring approximately 9 × 7 cm with a 6 × 4 cm solid area in diameter. On a microscopic examination, solid parts of the tumor were predominantly composed of the intracystic proliferation of mildly atypical epithelial cells with absence of two-cell patterns in a papillary or papillotubular growth fashion, only partly involving the dermis to epidermis. Immunohistochemistry showed that the carcinoma cells were specifically positive for estrogen and progesterone receptors, whereas negative for p63, S-100 protein and several neuroendocrine markers. Therefore, we finally made a diagnosis of invasive intracystic carcinoma of the male breast. We should be aware that owing to its characteristic cytological features, cytopathologists might be able to make a correct diagnosis of that, based on multiple and adequate samplings, even though a core biopsy would be the absolute minimum assessment.

Abstract
Papillary lesions of the male breast (PLMB) are uncommon. To date, PLMB have been reported as individual case reports and in relatively small series. We reviewed cases of PLMB diagnosed at our medical center over a 19-year (2000-2019) period. A total of 117 cases were identified, with an age range of 7 months to 88 years. These cases included 3 of papillary ductal hyperplasia, 5 intraductal papillomas, 1 adenomyoepithelioma, 5 atypical papillomas (ie, papillomas with atypia), 51 papillary ductal carcinoma in situ, 14 encapsulated papillary carcinomas, 38 solid papillary carcinomas, and 8 invasive papillary carcinomas. Malignant papillary neoplasms, including invasive and noninvasive ones, had a mean size of 1.3 cm (range: 0.3 to 4.4 cm), and all were ER and HER2. Fifty-four percent (19/35) of carcinomas were treated with excision alone, 46% (16/35) underwent mastectomy, and 63% (22/35) had axillary lymph node sampling. Only one case had metastatic involvement of axillary lymph nodes. Of the cases with follow-up, no (0/8) invasive carcinoma showed distant metastasis or proved fatal, and no (0/23) noninvasive papillary carcinoma recurred. Two notable cases of PLMB were encountered: one of a 7-month-old boy with NF1 mutation and florid papillary hyperplasia, and another of a 57-year-old man with Klippel-Feil syndrome and bilateral solid papillary carcinoma, invasive and oligometastatic on one side and noninvasive on the other. On the basis of this study of PLMB cases, the largest to date, and review of literature, we conclude that PLMB span a broad clinicopathologic spectrum, and that both invasive and noninvasive papillary carcinomas have relatively good prognosis.
