“…The conclusive diagnostic approach for PT is incisional or excisional biopsy, as well as core needle biopsy [3]. Ultrasonography and mammography have been utilized as preliminary non-invasive diagnostic techniques [9]. Though, ra- diographic imaging cannot definitively differentiate amongst the three forms of PT or from other benign breast conditions [9].…”

“…Ultrasonography and mammography have been utilized as preliminary non-invasive diagnostic techniques [9]. Though, ra- diographic imaging cannot definitively differentiate amongst the three forms of PT or from other benign breast conditions [9]. Under histological evaluation, borderline PTs show a greater degree of atypia when compared to benign; the mitotic index is 5 -9/10 HPF with moderate stromal cellularity, and areas of hemorrhage and necrosis may be identifiable [4,10].…”

“…Recurrence with PT is particularly higher when the tumor size is larger than 10 cm [3,11]. The use of neoadjuvant and adjuvant therapy with chemotherapeutic agents and/or radiation treatment does not have a clear indication for this pathology [1,[9][10][11]; the treatment decision with mastectomy alone for our patient was determined as appropriate. Close follow-up appointments with regular breast examinations and imaging tests are suggested for patients after surgery.…”

Giant Borderline Phyllodes Tumor With Malignant Presentation: A Case Report

Phyllodes tumor (PT) is a rare benign tumor with malignant potential. There have been few case reports that have described this condition. We report the case of a 61-year-old woman with a "giant" borderline PT who underwent a modified radical left breast mastectomy with left axillary lymph node dissection, followed by chest wall reconstruction using serratus anterior and pectoralis major muscle flap coverage. A breast tissue measuring 22.5 × 18.5 × 12.5 cm and weighing a total of 5.2 lbs was resected. A case report like this can provide further information on surgical management of the tumor and the importance of an early diagnosis. In addition, PTs are rare to find in patients and this case will further contribute to the literature regarding PT.

“…Phyllodes tumors -even benign type-tend to recur even after complete excision with higher tendency for malignant cases. Recurrent tumors may present with a higher grade than the primary ones (2,4,13,14). Wide local excision is the standard of care for benign, borderline and non-metastatic malignant phyllodes tumors -with or without adjuvant radiotherapy in malignant lesions with no proved value for chemotherapy or hormonal therapy.…”

“…Although the malignant potential is very rare, lungs are the most common metastatic site, followed by the skeleton, heart and liver ( 17 ). Mammography and breast ultrasound cannot differentiate phyllodes from other benign breast conditions such as fibroadenomas ( 18 ). The incisional and excisional biopsies are the definitive methods for diagnosing the phyllodes tumor, although, core cut biopsy is a reliable investigation for diagnosis.…”

A huge phyllodes tumor in the breast: a case report

Phyllodes tumor is a benign breast cancer with a malignant potential. It is very rare in Saudi Arabia and also rare around the world. Malignant phyllodes tumors originate from the connective tissue of the breast, so they are histologically sarcomas. We report the largest phyllodes tumor ever seen in Saudi Arabia, a 41-year-old female who presented with a huge breast mass occupying the whole breast with areas of ulceration. Her history had started 14 months previously with a slowly growing left breast swelling, ultimately the lump ulcerated and became necrotic. Mastectomy with partial resection of the pectoral muscles was done. The tumor specimen measured exactly 30×20×13 cm in size, and weight of 5.4 kg, and with the closest margin of resection 0.5 cm away from the tumor the histopathology report came back as malignant phyllodes tumor. The patient was sent for radiotherapy and chemotherapy. We concluded that accurate preoperative pathological diagnosis is very important for management of phyllodes tumor, and allows correct surgical planning and avoidance of reoperation.
