Breast cancer in men (BCM) is a rare clinical entity that has a unimodal presentation at the age of 71 years, and generally presents in a similar way it presents in the female sex. Its etiology remains almost unknown. Sarcomas are tumors of mesenchymal components representing from 0.2 to 1 % of all the breast tumors and less than 5 % of the total. The neurogenic sarcoma is also an extremely rare tumor. It represents around 1-2 % of the peripheral nerves tumors with malignant transformations. Due to location and histopathological rarity of this kind of tumors, much more in male patients, the authors presented the case of a male patient, aged 57 years, with the diagnosis of a left breast sarcoma. He undergone a radical mastectomy plus adjuvant chemotherapy and radiotherapy. The immunohystochemical studies allowed arriving to the diagnosis of neurogenic sarcoma.
