Abstract
Breast cancer is predominantly diagnosed in females, with males constituting less than 1% of all breast carcinoma cases. In men, the primary predisposing factors for breast cancer development include exposure to chest radiation, estrogen use, conditions associated with hyperestrogenism (such as cirrhosis or Klinefelter syndrome), and a family history of the disease. Male breast cancer (MBC) is more commonly observed in elderly men, resembling postmenopausal breast cancer in women in terms of behavior. Elderly men, particularly those with a higher incidence of relatives carrying BRCA mutations, face an increased risk of developing breast cancer. The risk is notably higher with inherited BRCA-2 mutations compared to BRCA-1 mutations. While breast cancer metastasis to the oral region is rare, when it occurs, it tends to localize in the maxillary and mandibular bones, with less frequency in soft tissues.
