Breast cancer is 100 times less frequent in males than in femalees. In this series the predominant histological form clearly was adenocarcinoma, present in 69 out of 73 patients. The patients' age varied from 7 to 82 years. In 91% of the cases, the malignancy presented as a painless, isolated tumour, often associated with retraction of the nipple. After 5 years 68% of patients operated upon immediately after diagnosis and 35% of those initially treated by radiations were still alive, as were 72% of patients with less than 7 cm tumours and 44.8% of those with larger tumours. It appears that breast cancer in males is less aggressive than is usually believed. Its histological features and its treatment are comparable to those of femal breast cancer.

D007713 Klinefelter Syndrome A form of male HYPOGONADISM, characterized by the presence of an extra X CHROMOSOME, small TESTES, seminiferous tubule dysgenesis, elevated levels of GONADOTROPINS, low serum TESTOSTERONE, underdeveloped secondary sex characteristics, and male infertility (INFERTILITY, MALE). Patients tend to have long legs and a slim, tall stature. GYNECOMASTIA is present in many of the patients. The classic form has the karyotype 47,XXY. Several karyotype variants include 48,XXYY; 48,XXXY; 49,XXXXY, and mosaic patterns ( 46,XY/47,XXY; 47,XXY/48,XXXY, etc.). 48,XXYY Syndrome,49,XXXXY Syndrome,Klinefelter Syndrome, Variants,Klinefelter's Syndrome,XXXY Males,XXY Syndrome,XXY Trisomy,Xxyy Syndrome,Klinefelter Syndromes,Klinefelter Syndromes, Variants,Klinefelters Syndrome,Syndrome, Klinefelter,Syndrome, Klinefelter's,Syndrome, Variants Klinefelter,Syndrome, XXY,Syndrome, Xxyy,Syndromes, Klinefelter,Syndromes, Variants Klinefelter,Syndromes, XXY,Syndromes, Xxyy,Trisomies, XXY,Trisomy, XXY,XXXY Male,XXY Syndromes,XXY Trisomies,Xxyy Syndromes
