Male mammary adenocarcinoma is rare in all hospital. In our center we found two cases among 204 female mammary adenocarcinomas, that is one porcent, in a revisión between 1971 and 1980. Most male mammary adenocarcinomas are of the ductal/infiltrative type, early metastasis to regional ganglia or by continuity to adjacent skin.
