Abstract
Intracystic Papilloma (ICP) in male breast is rare and only 13 cases of ICP in men have been reported worldwide so far. In all cases, local excision or mastectomy is performed immediately upon diagnosis for treatment of ICP. This case report describes a patient who was diagnosed with a benign cyst by core-needle biopsy and had received only non-operative management for 10 years. Then, this patient underwent local excision and diagnosed with ICP. The lump did not become malignant after 10 years from initial diagnosis. We suggest that immediate surgical excision may not always be necessary for ICP of the male breast after diagnosis by core-needle biopsy.
