“…McDonald and Harrington (1950) excluded two cases from their series because they were malignant, but this is not justifiable, as it has been mentioned previously that this may be one of the features of the condition. It is also interesting to note that McDonald and Harrington (1950) report 4 bilateral examples amongst their cases; and of the cases overlooked by Owens and Adams (1941), 3 were bilateral.…”

“…Some of the names seen in the early literature are as follows: cystic hydatids, glandular proliferous cysts, composite cystoid, cystosarcoma, cystic sarcoma, telangiectatic cystosarcoma, proliferous cystosarcoma, cystofibrosarcoma, intra-canalicular myxofibroma, intra-canalicular sarcoma, cystosarcoma myxomatoides and cystosarcoma papillare. An excellent account of the various names that have been employed, together with the writers who have suggested them, is given by Owens and Adams (1941). As can be seen from these names, the general opinion was that the tumour was a form of sarcoma with cystic change.…”

“…Since the review of Lee and Pack in 1931, a number of cases has been reported in the literature. In 1941, Owens and Adams listed a further 10 cases and in 1950, McDonald and Harrington presented 13 cases of their own and recorded a further 11 cases from the literature, 8 of which had apparently been overlooked by Owens and Adams (1941). McDonald and Harrington (1950) excluded two cases from their series because they were malignant, but this is not justifiable, as it has been mentioned previously that this may be one of the features of the condition.…”

“…On the other hand, cases which have had the appearance of large inoperable adenocarcinoma have been found to be cystosarcoma phyllodes with successful excision and cure. Other cases have present ed as breast abscesses with attempt at incision and drainage [4,21]. In unusual 'abscesses' frozen sections of the wall should reveal the diagnosis.…”
