Very rare; fewer than 1% of all those diagnosed with breast cancer are male. Most men diagnosed with breast cancer are over 60. The youngest man (by many years) ever to be diagnosed with breast cancer was 24

What's really funny to me is that most people don't know that anyone - literally ANYONE - can edit a wikipedia page. So many high school and college students (and grandma's and grandpa's new to the WWW) assume that wikipedia is the authoritative definition of something. It's not, In fact, it's the extreme opposite. My 7 year old can open the internet at home, right now, and change the definition of "cell phone" to "something that tastes good with ketchup". It's just a collection of people's junk - not really any better, nor worse, than an online opinion forum. Stay away from wikipedia ... Spend about an additional 2.5 minutes on google, until you find a site that's devoted ONLY to your topic and doesn't spread itself so thin, and is truly written by professionals on-point.
