Depends. What it is broke off in. Sometimes you can use a hacksaw blade and cut through the male part just through the threads and then pry out the piece. I have sometimes had to make three cuts and take the pipe out in sections. If it is in another pipe and you can heat the end, this will loosen the pipe and an E Z out or extractor can be used to back out the piece. If it is a small pipe that is too small for a hacksaw blade, if you are very careful and lucky, you can drill out most of the pipe to the threads in the female part and then peal out the thread or rethread the female side which will clean out the threads.
