The most common type of invasive carcinoma in the male breast is carcinoma without a special type (NST), followed by papillary carcinomas, of which the lobular and metaplastic types are the rarest. Solid papillary carcinomas are tumors characterized by a solid patterned growth with delicate fibrovascular nuclei. They may present clinically as a palpable mass, a mammographic abnormality, and a bloody nipple discharge. The present report showed a 67-year-old male patient who presented with a hardened nodule in the left breast with 2 months of evolution. The patient underwent left mastectomy with sentinel lymph node investigation. The anatomopathological and immunohistochemical study led to the diagnosis of invasive solid papillary carcinoma.
