## Abstract

Breast cancer is a frequently diagnosed cancer in women, but the incidence of male breast cancer has also shown an increasing trend. Male and female breast cancers have some similarities, including risk factors and breast symptoms. Invasive ductal carcinoma is the most common type of breast cancer in both males and females. Even though fewer men than women are affected by breast cancer, male breast cancers are diagnosed at a more advanced stage and frequently have worse prognosis than their female counterparts. Through this case series, we are sharing a few unusual presentations of cancers in the male breast. In this case series of three patients, we will discuss the similarities and differences in male and female breast cancer. We aim to highlight the need to identify men at high risk and the importance of investigating any breast symptoms in men promptly.
