We report a case of 35 year-old male patient presenting with a mass in the left breast. After conventional imaging examinations the patient was submitted to a biopsy, which showed folliculosebaceous cystic ham-artoma. The authors present a brief review of the literature on this rare lesion in the male breast and its differential diagnosis with malignant masses.
