Abstract
Aim: The incidence of breast cancer in men is less than 1% and it is very rare. Unlike women, its incidence increases with age. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the clinicopathological features, surgical and reconstructive techniques, adjuvant treatments and clinical results of breast carcinoma in men.
Material and Method: Breast cancer patients treated in Eskişehir Osmangazi University General Surgery Clinic and Eskişehir Yunus Emre State Hospital General Surgery Department between January 2010 and August 2020 were retrospectively analyzed.
Results: 16 male breast cancer cases were found. Clinical, pathological, adjuvant therapy, recurrence and survival characteristics of the patients were examined. The median age was 62 years. The most common presentation type was a palpable mass (68%) in the retroareolar region (62%) of the right breast. Hormone receptor positive staining (75-95%) and nuclear grade 2 (62%) were common features. Curative surgery was performed on 15 patients. Palliative toilet mastectomy was performed in 1 patient due to distant metastasis. Modified radical mastectomy (MRM) (88%) was performed as the most common surgical procedure. Reconstruction was performed with a musculocutaneous flap in one patient. Median follow-up time was 53 months. During the follow-up period, 3 patients (19%) had local recurrence, 6 patients (38%) died. It was recorded that 4 patients (25%) died due to cancer.
Conclusion: Breast cancer in men is rare and can be confused with benign diseases such as gynecomastia. Therefore, the disease is usually detected at an advanced stage. Consequently, local recurrence and mortality rates are observed to be higher. This requires the attention of men and improving awareness of the prevalence and risk factors of this disease.

Abstract
Amaç: Erkeklerde meme kanseri görülme sıklığı yaklaşık %1’in altında olup oldukça nadirdir. Kadınlardan farklı olarak yaşla birlikte görülme sıklığı artmaktadır. Erkeklerde meme karsinomunun klinikopatolojik özelliklerini, cerrahi ve rekonstrüktif tekniklerini, adjuvan tedavilerini ve klinik sonuçlarını değerlendirmeyi amaçladık
Materyal ve Metod: Ocak 2010- ağustos 2020 tarihleri arasında Eskişehir Osmangazi Üniversitesi Genel Cerrahi Kliniğinde ve Eskişehir Yunus Emre Devlet Hastanesi Genel Cerrahi Bölümünde tedavi edilmiş meme kanseri hastaları retrospektif olarak incelendi.
Bulgular: 16 erkek meme kanseri olgusuna rastlandı. Hastaların klinik, patolojik, adjuvan tedavi, nüks ve sağ kalımlarına ait özellikler kayıt edildi. Ortanca yaş 62 idi. En sık prezentasyon şekli sağ memede retroareolar (%62) bölgede ele gelen kitleydi (%68). Hormon reseptör pozitif (%75-95) ve grade 2 (%62) yaygın görülen özellikti. Küratif cerrahi 15 hastaya yapıldı, 1 hasta metastatik olması nedeniyle palyatif tuvalet mastektomi yapıldı. En yaygın cerrahi işlem olarak modifiye radikal mastektomi (MRM) (%88) yapıldı. Bir hastaya muskülokütanöz flep ile rekonstrüksiyon yapıldı. Ortanca takip süresi 53 aydı. Takip süresince 3 hastada (%19) lokal nüks görülürken 6 hasta (%38) kaybedilmiştir. Bunlardan 4 hastanın (%25) kansere bağlı öldüğü kaydedildi.
Sonuç: Erkeklerde meme kanseri nadir görüldüğü, jinekomasti gibi benign hastalıklarla karışabildiği ve erkeklerde meme kanserinin görülmediği algısı yüzünden geç fark edilir. Bu nedenle de tanı konduğunda sıklıkla ileri evrede karşılaşılabilmekte, lokal nüks ve mortalite oranları daha yüksek gözlenmektedir. Bu durum, erkeklerin dikkatini çekmeyi ve bu hastalığın prevalansı ve risk faktörleri konusunda bilinçlenmeyi gerektirir.
