Abstract EN
Phyllodes tumors of the breast are rare breast tumors that resemble fibroadenoma.
They are composed of two types of tissues: stromal and glandular tissues.
Unlike fibroadenoma, they are commonly found in the third decade of life and they tend to grow more rapidly.
Depending on the relative components of the cells and mitotic activity, they are classified into benign, borderline, and malignant.
They are usually present as a lump in the breast.
Phyllodes tumors are usually managed by wide excision.
The excision should be wide enough to ensure a tumor-free margin.
Recurrence rate is very high and most recurrences are usually local.
Metastasis to the vulva has not been reported.
