Nodular Mucinosis of Male Breast: A Rare Case Report.

Multinodular accumulation of stromal mucin in breast known as nodular mucinosis is an extremely rare condition of breast. Alternatively it is known as myxoma or nerve sheath myxoma of breast. This benign lesion is confined to only nipple and areola region presenting as slow growing, soft and non tender lobulated mass. Histopathologically it reveals well circumscribed non-encapsulated myxoid/mucinous lesion with few infiltration of spindle cells within a collaginized stroma. The mucinous substance is stained positively with Alcian blue. Mucinous carcinoma or phylloids tumour are important differential diagnosis of nodular mucinosis of breast. Here we report a case of nodular mucinosis of male breast with clinical, radiological and pathological findings with differential diagnosis and treatment modalities.
