Introduction: Male breast cancer is an uncommon disease, it represents less than 1% of all types of cancer in this sex, and worldwide it represents only 0.2% of all types of cancer´s death. Clinical case: It is a case of a 68-year-old male patient, with no significant history, with a painless retro areolar mass of 1-year evolution, with progressive growth, which retracts the skin of his nipple, the physical examination showed an immobile lesion of 3 cm with axillary adenopathy of 2 cm in level II, (T2N1MX, Stage IIB), An incisional biopsy was performed with a report of infiltrating ductal carcinoma. Due to initial tumor staging, it was decided to perform neoadjuvant chemotherapy with a CT protocol, and a modified radical mastectomy was performed late, subsequently adjuvant radiotherapy and hormonal therapy were applied. After a year of control, there are no signs of tumor recurrence Conclusion: as soon as any malignant breast pathology is suspected in males, it should be staged and treated in a similar way to females.
