The early diagnosis of breast cancer in men represents a real challenge for the health systems. Therefore, our knowledge about its physiopathology and risk factors must be expandedBreast cancer in men is a rare and poorly studied malady. The prognosis and management is far from being ideal and from the achievements of the female breast cancer treatment. Even rare are neuroendocine breast tumors. In most of cases, its behavior is uncertain and its management is controversial. This was the report of a male patient aged 67 years, with history of right breast mass, initially diagnosed as a poorly differentiated tumor with later immunohistochemical test that reported the existence of a primary neuroendocrine breast tumor.

Keywords : breast neoplasias; male breast cancer; neuroendocrine breast tumor; neuroendocrine markers; triple negative breast neoplasias.
