Usually adult male: Develops a lump or assymmetry of breast/pectoral tissue. Adolescemt boys commonly get gynecomastia during puberty that may embarrass them, but has no clinical import. Adult men develop duct cancer just like women, but much much less frequently, but it can be as lethal or curable as women. All men have remnants/precursors of true breast tissue. Find a lump, seek a cause and answer from your doc.

It is: histologically the same as female breast cancer, and presents the same way, eg with a lump, albeit usually at a more advanced stage. Imaging work up is also similar, with mammography and sonography the initial modalities of choice.
