During the time period 1958-1967 190 cases of male breast cancer were reported to the Swedish Cancer Registry. The reported cases were thoroughly re-evaluated from the evidence of the clinical records and histopathologic specimens. The material contained 166 cases of histologically verified invasive breast carcinoma which were analyzed with respect to different clinical and histopathologic parameters. In contrast to the rate in females, the breast cancer incidence rate in males did not increase significantly during the period under review, and the age-specific incidence rate did not show a Clemmesen's hook but increased relatively more rapidly at high ages than for female breast carcinoma. The mean age at diagnosis was 4 to 5 years higher in male breast cancer patients than in females. Larger tumours were more frequent among older patients and there was a 5-year shift between the age-distribution curves for small (less than 2 cm) and larger (2-5 cm) tumours. A similar difference was found between pN0 and pN1 tumours. This difference might reflect the progression rate of male breast cancer. The histopathology pattern and distribution of histologic malignancy grades were similar to those in female breast carcinoma with the exception that lobular carcinoma and medullary carcinoma with lymphoid infiltration were lacking in the male material.
