Introduction: Malignant mesenchymal breast tumors, as is the case also with malignant phyllodes tumors, are rare
malignancies that share several clinical and pathological characteristics. They are often locally aggressive and have
a high potential for distant metastasis.
This paper reports two cases of malignant phyllodes tumors and one case of breast sarcoma managed by our
breast surgery team. One of the malignant phyllodes tumors showed rapid progression with early multiple visceral
involvement and death.
Discussion: Presentation of an updated review of the literature covering clinical, pathological, radiological and
therapeutic considerations related to breast sarcomas and malignant phyllodes tumors.
Conclusion: Breast sarcomas and malignant phyllodes tumors are rare breast malignancies that share more similarities
than differences and require a multidisciplinary approach to management.
