Abstract

Breast diseases in male are seen infrequently. The most important diseases of the male breast are gynecomastia and breast cancer. Other rare diseases are skin and subcutaneous tissues pathologies such as fat necrosis, lipoma, and epidermal inclusion cysts. We present ultrasonography, mammography and magnetic resonance imaging findings of a lipoma with calcified fat necrosis in a 68-yearold male.
