Popis: Breast cancer in men is relatively rare and its coexistence with other primary non-breast cancers exceptional. Here, we report the case of a 50-year-old man who presented with symptoms of rectal adenocarcinoma and in whom a synchronous, asymptomatic cancer of the left breast was found incidentally at physical examination.
