“…Atypical distant metastasis from malignant PT of the breast has been reported in the literature [3][4][5][6]. However, there are few isolated reports in the literature emphasizing the usefulness of FDG PET-CT in PT [6].…”

“…These can be benign, borderline, or malignant depending on histological characteristics, such as margin involvement, cellularity, mitosis, and cellular atypia [1,2]. Distant metastasis and recurrence are rare among benign and borderline cases; however, they are not uncommon in malignant PT and range from 25% to 40% [3][4][5]. The tumor tends to metastasize via hematogenous spreading.…”

Rapidly growing cystosarcoma phyllodes tumor (PT) of the breast are rarely encountered. Distant metastases are not uncommon in malignant PTs; however, rare sites of metastases are sometimes observed. Here, we present the case of a rapidly metastasizing malignant PT in which skeletal muscle metastasis was identified on 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose-based positron emission tomography-computed tomography reflecting its aggressive course and poor prognosis.
