Abstract EN
The term phyllodes tumour includes lesions ranging from completely benign tumours to malignant sarcomas.
Clinically phyllodes tumours are smooth, rounded, and usually painless multinodular lesions indistinguishable from fibroadenomas.
Percentage of phyllodes tumour classified as malignant ranges from 23% to 50%.
We report a case of second largest phyllodes tumour in a 35-year-old lady who presented with swelling of right breast since 6 months, initially small in size, that progressed gradually to present size.
Examination revealed mass in the right breast measuring 36×32 cms with lobulated firm surface and weighing 10 kgs.
Fine needle aspiration cytology was reported as borderline phyllodes; however core biopsy examination showed biphasic neoplasm with malignant stromal component.
Simple mastectomy was done and specimen was sent for histopathological examination which confirmed the core biopsy report.
Postoperatively the patient received chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
The patient is on follow-up for a year and has not shown any evidence of metastasis or recurrence.
