The diagnosis of male breast cancer differs from that of female breast cancer in that mammography is not routinely performed on men. Most male breast cancer is detected during a physical examination. Aside from a breast lump, bloody nipple discharge can also signal an abnormality in the breast. In one recent study that looked at 229 cases of male breast cancer, 85 percent of patients had a lump, and 60 percent of these patients detected the lump themselves.
Other potential causes of breast masses in men could include juvenile papillomatosis (the envelopment of numerous papillomas or growths on the surface of the skin); fibroadenoma (a lump found in fibrous or fatty tissue); and leiomyoma (a lump found in smooth muscle).
