Background: Male breast cancer (MBC) is a rare disease with a rising incidence trend. The major risk factors related to MBC are a positive family history of breast cancer (BC) and / mutations, which indicate a relevant genetic role.

Methods: In this retrospective series, we enrolled 69 male patients presenting with male breast cancer (MBC) between 01/01/1992 and 31/12/2018, and 26 high-risk not-affected men presenting between 01/01/2016 and 31/12/2018.

Presentation Of Case: We report a 44-year-old woman CDH1 mutation carrier with a strong family history of cancer, who previously had prophylactic total gastrectomy. We registered normal findings at the breast and axilla assessment.
