Primary breast lymphoma in males: Incidence, demographics, prognostic factors, survival, and comparisons with females.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Primary breast lymphoma (PBL) is a rare disease condition and is mainly observed in females. No male PBL cohorts were reported previously. This study aims to investigate the incidence, clinical characteristics, prognostic factors, and survival outcomes among male PBL patients and also to perform comparisons between males and females.

Methods

Patients diagnosed with PBL between 2000 and 2019 from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database were identified. Age-adjusted incidence rates were calculated by year and age for trend analysis. Univariate and multivariate Cox hazard proportional regression analyses were performed to identify prognostic factors. Survival comparisons were conducted using the Kaplan-Meier method and the log-rank test. The p
