Mammary secretory carcinoma [30] and invasive cribriform carcinoma of the breast [31] which in recent studies have accounted for more than 3% and 1.7%, respectively, of MBC cases, can be added to near the top of this list whereas tubular carcinoma of the breast, a subtype of the invasive ductal carcinomas, occurs but is extremely rare in men.
Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), also known as intraductal carcinoma, is a pre-cancerous or non-invasive cancerous lesion of the breast. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] DCIS is classified as Stage 0. [ 3 ] It rarely produces symptoms or a breast lump that can be felt, typically being detected through screening mammography .

Males have presented with PDCIS: in one institutional review, 51 men aged 19 to 88 years were diagnosed with PDCIS; two of these men had gynecomastia. [12] It is the most common type of ductal carcinoma in situ diagnosed in men. [3] PDCIS tumors may occur alongside of (non-papillary) ductal carcinoma in situ [7] or EPC [13] tumors.

The term carcinoma in situ may be used interchangeably with high-grade SIL. [8] Ductal carcinoma in situ of the breast is the most common precancer in women. Bowen's disease is a squamous carcinoma in situ of the skin. Colon polyps often contain areas of CIS that will almost always transform into colon cancer if left untreated.
