Several risk factors have been identified such as genetic and hormonal abnormalities. The present study reported the case of a 25-year-old man who was diagnosed with an advanced invasive ductal carcinoma however he did not have any important risk factors. Even though more data is emerging about this disease more efforts to understand risk factors treatment options and survival benefits are needed. In this case we discussed the risk factors as well as the impaired fertility associated with breast cancer therapies. Background Breast cancer in men is rare and it accounts for about 1 of all malignant breast neoplasm cases 1 2 . The estimated incidence is 1 case for each 100 000 men. In the United States about 1 910 new cases were diagnosed in 2009 and 440 of these cases resulted in death 3 . Among the histologic types invasive ductal carcinoma is the most prevalent breast cancer in males with an incidence varying from 65 to 95 2 4 . Male breast cancer has unimodal age-frequency distribution with a peak incidence at 71 years old. Conversely female breast cancer has a bimodal age-frequency distribution with early-onset and late-onset peak incidences at 52 and 72 years old respectively 5 . This study examined a 25-year-old man without important risk factors who was diagnosed with invasive ductal carcinoma. Although it is rare
