Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is known for its high rate of regional lymph node and distant metastasis. However, NPC rarely metastasizes to the breast and, to the best of our knowledge, only four well-documented cases of breast metastasis have previously been reported in the literature, all of which are female. A 49-year-old male was diagnosed with NPC and developed a right breast mass five months later. Breast fine needle aspiration confirmed an abundance of metastatic squamous cells within the thickened tissue. The current study presents the first male case of breast metastases from NPC to broaden the clinical database.
