Exophytic Phyllode Breast Tumor: a Case Report

Abstract

Phyllode breast tumor is a rare and very acute disease. The diagnosis is very hard, and histology is still the key to diagnosis. Conservative treatment with good margin excision is the gold standard. The exophytic form is rare and always malign. Here, we present a 39 years old woman with an exophytic phyllode breast tumor who had a large conservative treatment. The histopathology revealed a benign phyllode tumor grade 1. The particularity of our patient is the benignant form of this exophytic tumor without metastasis and the recurrence of the tumor after the conservative treatment.
