INTRODUCTION

Carcinomas arising in the male east is a rare occurrence, with a known incidence of only 0.6% of all the reported cases of east carcinomas.

CASE HISTORY

A 36year old male presented with a hard retro–areolar mass in the left east since 6 months. FNAC smears were cellular and showed atypical cells

lying singly as well as in dyscohesive clusters with abundant mucinous material in the background. Cytological diagnosis of Mucinous Carcinoma

of east was suggested and were confirmed onhistopathology.

DISCUSSION

Male east cancers are rare aggressive lesions reported mainly in the older age groups. It is important to recognize these lesions for

focusedtreatment strategies and an overall improved survival.

CONCLUSION

This case is being presented due to uncommon nature of tumour presenting at an early age. FNAC is a useful tool for diagnosis with high sensitivity

but histopathology remains gold standard.
