Invasive papillary carcinoma (IPC) is a rare subtype of MBC, constituting &lt;3% of cases, typically showing strong hormone receptor positivity and better prognosis than other invasive subtypes. A 65-year-old male presented with a left breast lump for 15 years, with intermittent nonprogressive pain for 2 years. Clinical examination revealed a single, nonmobile, nontender mass measuring 2 cm \u00d7 1 cm in the upper inner quadrant of the left breast, with a normal nipple-areolar complex and no axillary lymphadenopathy. Ultrasonography showed a mixed solid-cystic lesion with internal vascularity and microcalcifications. FNAC indicated an atypical proliferative lesion\/low-grade carcinoma. PET-CT confirmed a solitary FDG-avid lesion with no metastasis. ER and PR were strongly positive. Histopathology revealed Grade I IPC. The patient underwent a modified radical mastectomy with axillary lymph node dissection. Final staging: pT2N0M0 (AJCC 8\n                    <jats:sup>th<\/jats:sup>\n                    edition). This case underscores the need to evaluate persistent breast lumps in males, regardless of duration. IPC carries a favorable prognosis when diagnosed early, and timely histopathological evaluation, along with surgical management, leads to optimal outcomes in MBC.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4103\/aam.aam_88_26","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,19]],"date-time":"2026-05-19T05:00:06Z","timestamp":1779166806000},"page":"S521-S524","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Long-Standing Breast Mass in an Elderly Male: A Rare Case of Invasive Papillary Carcinoma"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"25","author":[{"given":"Anuradha","family":"Dnyanmote","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General Surgery, Dr. D.
