Male breast cancer is a rare disease and usually affects men over 60 years. This paper aims to establish a work plan nurse focus on care for a man who has a bleeding lesion in right breast, while attending to the Emergency Room. We develop the case through nursing assessment on the model of Virginia Henderson, using a nursing diagnosis, outcome criteria and interventions. Stabilized the bleeding from the wound, relevant tests are performed to diagnose the patient a right breast cancer in advanced stage. Palliative treatment is chosen, keeping in mind that patients receiving this care seek to preserve the highest quality of life possible and have dignified death.

Keywords : Hemorrhage; emergencies; breast neoplasms; nursing care.
