Phyllodes tumors are rare tumors that occur in relatively young women, when compared with the classical adenocarcinoma of the breast.

The incidence of TNBC in our study is similar to other studies. TNBC patients showed an early major recurrence surge peaking at approximately year 2.5. Regional variation of clinicopathologic features indicates a need for molecular studies to define underlying molecular features and its impact on survival.
MBC is a rare entity among breast carcinoma in Kuwait. Most of the cases present with poor prognostic indicators and often show lack of expression of ER, PR and Her2/neu.
