“…Generally, benign phyllodes tumor is associated with good prognosis; however, it is known for local recurrence (10%-17%) and requires wide excision and close follow-up. 2,25 This patient at six months follow-up is doing well.…”

Phyllodes tumor is attributed to a small fraction of primary tumors of the breast. Such tumors occur rarely in pregnancy and lactation. We report a case of a 25-year-old lactating mother presenting with a lump in the left breast. Core needle biopsy was opined as phyllodes tumor with lactational changes, and subsequent wide local excision confirmed the diagnosis of benign phyllodes tumor with lactational changes. The characteristic gross and microscopic findings of a well-circumscribed lesion with leaf-like fibroepithelial growth pattern and typical nonuniform or diffuse stromal proliferation with periductal accentuation even in the absence of mitotic figures can help clinch the diagnosis. Benign phyllodes is known for its recurrence and requires wide excision and close follow-up. It is vital to identify these lesions even on limited biopsies as therapeutic options differ. This case is presented for its rarity and the diagnostic challenge it poses in limited biopsy.

Cystosarcoma phyllodes was described first in 1838 and originally was considered to be a benign tumor. It was not until 1931 that metastasis from a cystosarcoma phyllodes was reported. The incidence of cystosarcoma phyllodes is estimated to be 0.3% to 0.9% of all breast tumors. Sites most commonly affected by metastases are the lungs and bones. We present a case report 29-year old female patient presented with a voluminous breast mass at both of them which was completely resected. The right side presented of malignant phyllodes and the left side is borderline phyllodes. Six months later, both of her legs became paralyzed and accompanied by swelling over her right upper arm. Biopsy was performed, and the diagnosis was metastatic malignant phyllodes tumor. Histologic review of the breast tumor revealed stromal overgrowth.
