Hi
Over the internet it is difficult to give you an exact answer to your question.It is rare for men to get breast cancer, but as rare as it may be, it could still happen,especially when men get older.What you have could be a cyst, an infection or an hormonal imbalance that in some men, with high levels of estrogen,can promote glandular tissue growth.
Whether male or female, a lump should always be examined by a medical professional  Please see your doctor soon.
Take care...
