Résumé
Male breast cancer is an uncommon disease although its incidence has increased over the recent years. Like other orphan diseases, male breast cancer is understudied. This disease has a lot of similarities with female breast cancer. Some differences are yet noticeable. This article describes three cases of carcinoma of the breast in men with a review of the literature on risk factors and treatment. A database must be started with epidemiologic information to understand this disease and its correlation with breast cancer in women.
