Abstract

Male breast cancer (MBC) is a rare disease with a rising incidence, accounting for less than 1% of all breast cancer cases. It typically presents in older men and outcome-based studies in adolescent and young adult (AYA) males are scarce due to its rarity. This case series aims to highlight the diagnostic and therapeutic challenges encountered in two rare presentations of MBC. The first case involved an 18-year-old male who presented with left chest pain and a rapidly growing breast mass. Histopathological analysis revealed invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC) NST grade III with positive margins, staged as cT2N0M0. He also presented with anemia and elevated transaminase enzymes. The second case was a 59-year-old male with a history of mucinous adenocarcinoma of the right breast who presented with the right arm and shoulder pain and a supraclavicular mass. Imaging revealed extensive metastatic disease in the lungs, liver, and bones, and he was diagnosed with cT2N3cM1. Both patients underwent different treatment approaches based on their disease stage and presentation. In conclusion, MBC, especially in AYA patients, presents unique diagnostic and therapeutic challenges due to its rarity and potential for aggressive behavior. These cases underscore the importance of considering MBC in differential diagnoses, even in younger males, and the need for tailored treatment strategies based on the specific clinicopathological features and stage of the disease. Early detection, comprehensive nodal evaluation, and adherence to established treatment guidelines are crucial for improving outcomes in MBC patients. Further research is warranted to better understand the biological characteristics and optimal management of MBC in rare presentations and younger populations.

Abstract

Background: The periosteum is critical for fracture healing, serving as a reservoir for osteoprogenitor cells and vascular supply. A clinical paradox exists where periosteal stripping is considered detrimental yet is historically associated with hypertrophic overgrowth. This study investigates the temporal paradox of periosteal stripping, testing the hypothesis that it induces a biphasic response characterized by early inflammatory compensation followed by late-phase regenerative failure. Methods: Twenty-four male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomized into four groups (n=6/group): Intact Periosteum (PI) and Periosteal Stripping (PS), evaluated at 14 and 28 days post-fracture. Mid-diaphyseal femoral fractures were stabilized with 1.0 mm K-wires. Healing was quantified using a validated Modified Allen-Huo Histological Score (0-10) and Trainable Weka Segmentation (TWS) for tissue classification. Osteoclast activity was assessed via Tartrate-Resistant Acid Phosphatase (TRAP) staining. Results: At Day 14, the PS group exhibited healing comparable to the PI group (Median Score: 8.0 [IQR 8.0–9.0] vs. 8.0 [IQR 7.0–8.0]; p = 0.176), driven by hypertrophic soft callus formation rather than true osteogenesis. However, by Day 28, the PS group demonstrated significant regression (Median Score: 3.5 [IQR 3.0–4.8]) compared to the PI group (Median Score: 8.0 [IQR 8.0–8.0]; p = 0.006). Quantitative histomorphometry revealed significantly higher osteoclast density in the PS-28 group (TRAP+ cells: 18.5 ± 2.1/field) compared to PI-28 (4.2 ± 1.1/field; p < 0.001), indicating active resorption of the unstable callus. Conclusion: Periosteal stripping does not accelerate early healing but induces a volume-matched inflammatory callus that fails to consolidate. The significant late-phase regression underscores the vital role of the cambium layer in definitive remodeling. Surgical preservation of the periosteum is mandated to prevent atrophic non-union.
