Is it possible that i have male breast cancer?

Pretty rare: Most tenderness or swelling under the male breast is because of the development of benign breast tissue called gynecomastia. This can be caused by certain medications and medical conditions. Male breast cancer occurs but is rare. Best advice, check with your doctor, he may even order a mammogram to be sure.

Yes it is: If you have a growing lump or thickness in your breast, it should be checked by a physician or a surgeon. Breast cancer in men does occur in more than 1, 000 cases per year in the us.
