Typically, there is less familiarity with breast imaging in men due to overall fewer numbers of male breast studies, whether from true decreased prevalence of disease, lack of screening guidelines, or less males seeking care. The imaging features of benign and malignant breast disease in men can demonstrate significant overlap. Therefore, greater familiarity with imaging features may help to ensure proper management. Because the imaging features of benign and malignant disease can demonstrate significant overlap, biopsy and/or tissue sampling is not unwarranted for any clinically suspicious lesion. The purpose of this exhibit is to expose radiologists to a series of pathology-proven cases that highlight and confirm that benign and malignant breast diseases in men display overlapping features. A secondary purpose is to familiarize radiologists with breast diseases that are uncommon in men.

The cases will be presented in quiz format. The radiologist will be able to choose which diagnosis they think best fits the case. Key imaging features will be highlighted in the discussion of each case. The list of cases includes: Abscess Granulomatous mastitis/abscess Gynecomastia True cyst Vascular malformation Invasive ductal and lobular carcinoma Papillary carcinoma Mixed ductal and apocrine carcinoma
