Popis:	Male breast cancers account for 1% of worldwide breast malignancies and are on the rise. Sri Lankan accounts are limited due to lack of healthcare seeking behavior among men. A 63-year-old male presented with a right sided hard breast lump and a Breast Imaging Reporting and Database System score 5 lesion with axillary lymph node metastasis was observed on ultrasonography. Core biopsy revealed invasive ductal breast cancer. Tumor staging revealed a T2N1M0 cancer for which mastectomy with level 2 axillary clearance was performed followed by radiotherapy and systemic therapy. Male breast cancer even though similar to female breast cancers have important distinctions with regard to molecular biology, lymphatic metastasis and age of presentation. Management; however, still relies on studies based on the female counterpart.
