A rare case of noninvasive carcinoma of the male breast with bloody nipple discharge is reported. The patient was 68-year-old and came to our hospital with a chief complaint of bloody nipple discharge and a right breast mass. The tumor was diagnosed as carcinoma of the breast by aspiration cytology. The ultrasonography findings were various ill-defined, internal echos and a relatively low-echoic multi-cystic tumor with small length-to-breadth ratio. Ductography demonstrated dilation of the ducts and intraductal filling defects. Based on findings, we suspected a noninvasive carcinoma. Tumorectomy was performed first. After rapid intraoperative pathological examination, a diagnosis of non-invasive ductal carcinoma was made, and total mastectomy was performed. The patient is healthy, without adjuvant therapy, as of 42 months postoperatively.
