Brief Answer:
could be many things

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
There could be many causes for this pain. It is best if you see a doctor and get an exam. While it is not that common men can get breast cancer. It could also be something like an infection or blocked duct. It might even be coming from the underlying bones or muscles.
It is best to see a doctor as soon as possible to make sure it is nothing serious.
Regards,
Dr. Robinson
