Carcinoma of the male breast is an uncommon phenomenon which is observed less than %1 of all breast carcinomas. It occurs 5-10 years later than female patients with breast carcinoma. Due to a rare entity seen in men, it is not considered in diff erential diagnosis. Therefore, the cases are diagnosed generally in advanced stages. The most common histological sub-types such as infi ltrating ductal carcinoma and all other sub-types are also seen, as it is in females. In this study two male cases with breast carcinoma whose were 73-year-old and 39- year old has been represented with clinical and pathological features.
