Nevoid hyperkeratosis of the nipple and/or areola (NHNA) is an uncommon disease with no definite etiology. NHNA of the male breast is rare in clinical practice. Despite being a benign disease, it is distressing for patients and therapeutically challenging for clinicians. We report a male patient with NHNA who responded favorably to minocycline treatment.
