Abstract
MRI breast is designed to diagnose breast cancer in female. MRI has a great role in diagnosis of early breast cancer. MRI has a great role in differentiation between postoperative scar and post-operative recurrence in cases of surgically removed cancer breast. MRI also used in follows up the response of chemotherapy in cases of advanced breast cancer. Few literature explain the use of MRI in male breast cancer. In this case report we present a case of male breast cancer and demonstrate MRI characters, enhancement and diffusion patterns similar to that occur in female breast cancer. In our case report we concluded that MRI morphological features of cancer breast in male were the same MRI morphological features of cancer breast in female. Cancer breast in male showed the same enhancement kinetic similar to that occurred in female with cancer breast. Cancer breast in male showed a similar enhancement curves like that in female with breast cancer. Cancer breast in male has the same diffusion patterns that occur in female with cancer breast.
