Syringomatous Adenoma of the Nipple in a Male Breast: A Case Report With a Brief Review of Literature and Histomorphological Approach to Diagnosis.

Syringomatous adenoma of the nipple (SAN) is a benign and locally infiltrative lesion possibly arising from the sweat gland ducts in the nipple-areolar region. This rare lesion has been reported in the female breast; however, reports on the male breast are extremely rare. Although benign, SAN has a high risk of recurrence. The clinical presentation and histomorphological features often mimic a malignancy. Hence, an awareness of this lesion is required to make a correct diagnosis. In this report, we describe the histomorphological features of SAN in a male breast.
