Generally unilateral, about equal incidence, few bilateral, accessory milk can also occur. At first, small and ill defined painless masses appear on the nipple and under the nipple. About half of the patients may have skin redness, pruritus, nipple retraction and nipple eczema. With the progress of the disease, the tumor can adhere to the skin, fix, and appear "satellite" nodules.

Second, regional lymph node metastasis is early. Due to the anatomical characteristics of small size and short lymphatic vessels of male breast, 54% - 80% of patients have lymph node metastasis early. In particular, the areola region of male is close to the lymph nodes of the internal mammary region, which is easy to involve the lymph nodes of the internal mammary region. This is one of the reasons why the prognosis of male adenocarcinoma is worse than that of female breast cancer.

Third: lumping and swelling. The main symptom of male breast cancer is that the breast mass often occurs around the areola, with hard texture, unclear boundary, unsmooth surface and poor mobility. Breast skin depression, inverted nipple, occasionally accompanied by nipple hemorrhage. Sometimes the pain is not obvious, but if the nipple retracts and the skin is involved, we should be alert.
