Breast cancer in men is a relatively uncommon entity that occurs in a very low proportion, however, the importance of breast cancer in men should not be ignored due to the poor prognosis since its diagnosis in later stages and its high mortality rate; paradoxically more men have died from breast cancer than from testicular cancer. We present a case of a male patient with no significant history who came to the consultation for presenting a retroareolar tumor to the general surgery consultation, being referred to the oncological surgery consultation, an ultrasound was performed, cataloged as a BI-RADS 5 for which he is scheduled for treatment surgical. Due to the infrequency of this pathology, it was decided to carry out a case report.
