What are the signs & symptoms of breast cancer in men?

They are much the same as symptoms in women. Early breast cancer, of course, can have no symptoms at all.

Breast cancer in men is no different than breast cancer in women. Here is what the mayoclinic lists as symptoms:

The most common sign of breast cancer for both men and women is a lump or thickening in the breast. Often the lump is painless. Other male breast cancer symptoms include:

Skin dimpling or puckering
Development of a new retraction or indentation of the nipple
Changes in the nipple or breast skin, such as scaling or redness
Nipple discharge

They are the same as in women. Less than 1% of breast cancer cases worldwide are male.

The only way to determine if it is cancer is to see the cells under a microscope, so if you are very concerned, you should seek the help of a physician. All the best to you!

What are the signs and symptoms of male breast cancer?

The most common symptom of breast cancer in men is finding a firm, non-painful mass located just below the nipple. The average size of breast cancer in men when first discovered is about 2.5 cm in diameter. The cancer may cause skin changes in the area of the nipple. These changes can include ulceration of the skin, puckering or dimpling, redness or scaling of the nipple, or retraction (turning inward) of the nipple. Bloody or opaque discharge from the nipple may also occur.

Breast cancer that has spread (metastasized) to the bones may also produce bone pain at the sites of metastases. Advanced breast cancer can also produce symptoms typical of many cancers, including malaise, weakness, and weight loss.
