摘要：

A 94 year old man with an invasive ductal carcinoma of the breast (T4N2M1, stage IV), underwent a modified radical mastectomy to improve his quality of life. The estrogen receptor status of both the breast tumor and the metastatic axillar lymph nodes was high. Immunohistochemical staining for epidermal growth factor, epidermal growth factor receptor, or c-erbB-2 protein was negative. The patient received only tamoxifen continuously for 3 months, and later apparently showed a complete remission. Therefore, in advanced male breast cancer with a high estrogen receptor status, operation in conjunction with hormone therapy may lead to a favorable result in some cases.
