“…Phyllodes tumours are unusual neoplasms that consist of less than 1% of all breast tumours. These are special tumours that occur exclusively in the female breast [1][2][3][4].

Giant Benign Mammary Phyllodes Tumor: Report of a Case and Review of the Literature

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Phyllodes tumor of the breast is an infrequently encountered fibroepithelial neoplasm, which accounts for 0.3–1% of all tumors. Few case reports have described the occurrence of giant phyllodes tumor. To our knowledge, about 20% of phyllodes tumors would be considered giant benign. Complete surgical excision is the standard of care for giant benign phyllodes tumors; axillary lymph node metastasis is rare, and dissection should be limited to patients with pathologic evidence of tumor in the lymph nodes. We report the case of a 40-year-old Mexican woman with giant mammary tumor who underwent a right total mastectomy. The pathology results showed a benign phyllodes tumor 4,857 g in weight and 40.2 × 36.3 × 15 cm in size. We do not suggest adjuvant radiation therapy for patients with benign phyllodes tumors that are widely excised. A review of the pertinent literature was performed.

Phyllodes tumour or cystosarcoma phyllodes are a rare fibroepithelial tumour of breast, predominantly affecting the adult woman of age group 40-60 years. This is a case report of unusual, rapidly growing giant phyllodes in a 58-year-old women who came with history of enlarging lump in right breast without any significant pain or nipple discharge and was referred to the Radiology Department for mammographic and sonomammographic evaluation by the referring breast surgeon. This case is unique, since it describes how a rapidly growing breast lump is not always a sinister breast carcinoma but can be a benign, borderline or malignant phyllodes all of which can mimic a carcinoma in signs and symptoms, but hold a better prognosis. The final diagnosis of borderline phyllodes tumour was made on core biopsy followed by mastectomy of the involved breast. The main take away of this case report is how by having high level of suspicion, knowledge of specific imaging characteristics, correct biopsy technique combined with histopathology can help in reaching to a correct diagnosis leading to proper patient care and management.
