| Omschrijving: | Phyllodes tumors (PT) are extremely rare neoplasms that are usually benign. Patients with phyllodes tumors generally have a mass characterized by rapid growth in a short period of time. Our patient felt herself with a fast-growing right breast mass. After the biopsy the mass is diagnosed with phyllodes malignant tumor, it is removed with adequate margins, and then presented with recurrence, operating it and recurring consecutively. Biopsies checked a high-grade malignant phyllodes tumor, which behaved very aggressively. The objective of this case report is to increase awareness of these tumors and their potentially unusual presentations to allow physicians the ability to recognize these malignancies before and recognize the need for better approach. |
