Abstract
Breast and prostate cancer occurring concurrently is a
rare occurrence. However, the recent literature has
reported that there is an increased incidence of male breast cancer in prostate cancer patients. The authors describe
the case of a man who presented with breast cancer, which
was preceded by prostate cancer. There are some common
features in terms of the etiology, diagnosis and treatment
of these two tumors which are discussed.
