Authors: Masahiro Kitada, MD, Shunsuke Yasuda, Masahiro Abe, Nana Yoshida, Satoshi Okazaki and Kei Ishibashi

Abstract: We experienced a case of HER2-positive male breast cancer with a poor prognosis. A 64-year-old man visited our hospital due to general malaise, a left breast mass, and neck edema. The patient was diagnosed with HER2-positive breast cancer after needle histology. Weekly paclitaxel and trastuzumab therapy was started. However, the patient experienced lightheadedness and dizziness, and developed brain metastasis. After whole-brain irradiation, the condition worsened, and the patient died. HER2 type male breast cancer has a poor prognosis. There are many cases that are difficult to diagnose, but it is necessary to tak e immediate measures such as treatment decisions.
