Abstract

El cáncer de mama es muy poco frecuente en el varón, le corresponde entre el 0,7 al 1 % de todos los cánceres masculinos. En este trabajo presentamos dos casos de cáncer de mama en hombres diagnosticados durante un periodo de 5 años en el Hospital General Universitario "Abel Santamaría Cuadrado". Se analizaron los aspectos diagnósticos y terapéuticos en una amplia revisión bibliográfica y se concluyó que es una neoplasia de características y pronósticos similares en uno u otro sexo, no obstante, se publican resultados más sombríos en el varón debido a la demora en el diagnóstico respecto al femenino.

Palabras clave: NEOPLASMAS DE LA MAMA MASCULINA/diagnóstico, NEOPLASMAS DE LA MAMA MASCULINA/cirugía.
