The incidence of breast cancer in men is exceedingly low, accounting for less than 1% of all breast cancer cases. However, the rarity of this pathology should not overshadow the significance of its diagnosis and management, which can be particularly challenging due to low awareness and limited knowledge on the subject. Among various histological subtypes of male breast cancer, intracystic papillary carcinoma remains exceptionally rare, constituting between 0.5% and 2.4% of female breast cancers and 5% to 7.5% in males. It is distinguished by its unique morphological characteristics in imaging and clinical presentation. This article aims to delve deeply into the role of medical imaging in diagnosing, primarily based on mammography and ultrasound, and monitoring male papillary breast cancer, supported by an illustrative case study and an exhaustive review of the existing literature.
