Small lump by nipple.39yo male.awaiting ultrasound, what percent of male lumps are cancer? it seems to me cysts are less common than cancer in men
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Male lumps: Most of these are related to gynecomastia, not cancer,but men can and do get breast cancer. About 1% of breast cancers occur in men. Breast cysts are very uncommon in men, and complex cysts, which are usually benign in women, are more likely to be malignant in men.
