Abstract :
Diagnosing breast cancer (BC) in early stages increases the chances of treating this cancer in men.
However, because BC is very rare in men, especially inflammatory BC (IBC), it is unlikely that
screening men for BC by mammography or other tests would yield promising outcomes. The aim of
this study was to report IBC in a 53‐year‐old man. The case was a 53‐year‐old man with a history
of mass in the left breast and trauma to the same side as well as swelling and severe redness of
the breast skin. The patient underwent neoadjuvant chemotherapy and relative responded to medical
treatment. He then underwent modified mastectomy surgery and initial chest wall repair followed
by radiotherapy. IBC in men is challenging due to its rarity, unknown biological behaviors, and
difficulty in early diagnosis. This tumor is usually detected in advanced stages in the elderly and has
a poor prognosis.
