Mucinous carcinoma in a male patient: Diagnosis and management of breast cancer in male patients

Male breast cancer is a rare but serious condition that impacts an increasing number of men each year. Due to low incidence rate, there is a current lack of established diagnostic and management practices. Here, we provide a review of the current epidemiology, classification, diagnosis, and treatmen...
