Invasive Ductal Carcinoma within a Benign Phyllodes Tumor

چکیده
BACKGROUND Phyllodes tumor (PT) is a rare neoplasm of the breast. Concomitant PT with invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC) is an even rarer occurrence. When ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) or IDC are detected within the specimen, the management changes from wide local excision to further staging work-up, including sentinel node biopsy and radiation. CASE REPORT We report the case of a 70-year-old presented with right breast mass whose pathology showed benign PT with concomitant IDC and DCIS. The patient elected for a wide excision of the mass with sentinel lymph node biopsy, which did not show any involvement. The patient was started on appropriate therapy. She is currently doing well. CONCLUSIONS This case highlights the importance of wide local excision for PT as well as prudent histologic examination to rule out other malignant components, as the presence of IDC distinctly changes management.

In-situ and invasive carcinoma within a phyllodes tumor associated with lymph node metastases
BACKGROUND Phyllodes tumors (cystosarcoma phyllodes) are uncommon lesions in the female breast. Rarely, the occurrence of carcinoma within a phyllodes tumor has been reported in the literature, but has never been associated with lymph node metastases. CASE PRESENTATION A 26-year-old woman presented with a firm, mobile, non-tender mass in the left breast and palpable lymph nodes in the left ax...

Phyllodes tumors are fibroepithelial lesions and malign forms are rare neoplasms with lower than 1% of all primary breast tumors. Malign forms are usually behaves like sarcomas because they occur in the stroma of the breast. Also proliferation of epithelium occurs and even it is less often, the epithelial component of phyllodes tumors can transform into malignancy too. This epithelial malignanc...

This report describes a rare case of coexistence of benign phyllodes tumor, which measured 9 cm in the right breast, and invasive ductal carcinoma of 6 cm in the left breast, synchronous and independent, in a 66-year-old patient. The patient underwent a bilateral mastectomy due to the size of both lesions. Such situations are rare and usually refer to the occurrence of ductal or lobular carcino...

INTRODUCTION Benign Phyllodes Tumours (PTs) are rare fibroepithelial neoplasms that resemble fibroadenoma. But unlike fibroadenoma, benign PT can recur and both stromal & epithelial components can progress to malignancy. Contrary to earlier belief that benign PT is a stromal neoplasm and possibly arises from fibroadenoma, more recent molecular studies have suggested that both stroma and epithel...
