Male mammary gland tumors are very rare. According to Williams' statistics, out of 2,422 cases of mammary gland tumors, 2,397 involved women and only 25 cases involved men. Nussbaum, for 388 cases of removal of neoplasms of the female breast, had the same surgical intervention in men only 11 times. According to Schmidt, out of 150 cases of neoplasms of the breasts at the Czerny clinic, only 1 case involved a man.
