Abstract:
Male breast carcinoma is uncommon and accounts for less than 1% of all cases of breast carcinoma. Soft tissue sarcomas also occur infrequently and cause less than 1% of all cancer related deaths. We report a case of breast carcinoma and soft tissue sarcoma occurring simultaneously in a 34-year-old male with a family history of gastrointestinal neoplasia suggestive of Cancer Family Syndrome. Features, diagnosis and management of this syndrome are reviewed.
