Squamous Metaplasia in a Borderline Phyllodes Tumor—an Undocumented Histological Finding in Male Breast: Report of a Case and Review of Literature

Abstract: Phyllodes tumor is a paradigm of fibroepithelial neoplasm that accounts for <1% of the breast neoplastic lesions usually detected in females and uncommonly in the male breast. The World Health Organization classifies the tumor into benign, borderline, and malignant based on the predefined morphological criteria. Squamous differentiation in phyllodes tumor is epithelial metaplasia, which has been occasionally documented in English literature. We report the first undocumented case of a recurrent borderline ph… Show more

“…PanNETs were divided into three grades (G1, G2, and G3) according to the mitotic number and the Ki-67 index. The choice of treatment methods for PNENs mostly depends on the pathological grade of the tumor, and the choice of surgery and surgical methods depend on the size, location, and histopathological grade of the tumor [ 13 ]. At present, a large number of studies have proved that the grading system of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors has a great correlation with their prognosis.…”

“…On the basis of predetermined morphological criteria, the World Health Organization classifies tumors as benign, borderline, or malignant. Infrequently documented in the English literature, squamous differentiation in phyllodes tumors represents epithelial metaplasia, as shown also by Panigrahi [56]. It has been difficult to determine which phyllodes tumors may behave aggressively.…”
