Summary
Cystosarcoma phyllodes (CSP) are rare breast tumors, usually benign and unilateral in women. This study details the first reported case of bilateral axillary CSP in a male, alongside a literature review on male CSP.
Area of Science:
- Oncology
- Pathology
Background:
- Cystosarcoma phyllodes (CSP) are rare mammary neoplasms, accounting for less than 1% of all breast tumors.
- Traditionally considered benign and unilateral lesions primarily affecting the female breast.
Observation:
- Sporadic cases of Cystosarcoma Phyllodes (CSP) have been documented in males.
- This report details the first known instance of CSP occurring in a man's bilateral axillae.
Findings:
- The study presents a unique case of bilateral axillary Cystosarcoma Phyllodes (CSP) in a male patient.
- A comprehensive review of the existing literature on male Cystosarcoma Phyllodes (CSP) cases is provided.
Implications:
- This case expands the known presentation spectrum of Cystosarcoma Phyllodes (CSP).
- Highlights the importance of considering rare tumor presentations in male patients.
- Contributes to a better understanding of Cystosarcoma Phyllodes (CSP) in males.
