Although breast cancer most affects women, it may occur in males, being diagnosed at later stages. Men with BRCA 2 mutation have a higher risk of developing breast cancer than men in the general population. Diagnostic approaches recommendations are derived from established guidelines for breast cancer in women (FBC). A palpable mass is the most common symptom and the skeletal bones are the most common sites of metastatic recurrence in breast cancer. Male breast cancer remains an uncommon disease. Most studies on men with breast cancer are very rare. The current review was made with an aim to analyze the current diagnostic approaches of male breast cancer patients. Searches were carried out on three electronic databases (Pubmed, Medscape, ScienceDirect) using the title term “Diagnosis of male breast cancer”. ER -
