BACKGROUND Phyllodes tumors (PT) of the breast are uncommon, and it is often difficult to predict their clinical behavior from histologic features in individual cases. In addition to routine morphology, the studies of p53 protein and Ki-67 antigen expression in PT may be useful to differentiate benign from malignant tumors. METHODS Immunohistochemical analyses using monoclonal antibody to lab...

Sarcoma of the breast is a rare condition, with one possible meaning of relapse ad metastastasize, and behaves biologically as a stromal tumor. Surgery is the first choise and mastectomy is the best procedure adopted in these tumors. The aim of our study was to assess diagnostic and treatment options for PT, based on a review of the literature and our experience with a case of breast sarcoma ar...

A 50-year-old woman with a large right breast mass was emergently hospitalized for generalized weakness and fatigue. A histological examination of tumor biopsy specimens revealed a phyllodes tumor (PT). She suddenly lost consciousness due to severe hypoglycemia. Non-islet cell tumor hypoglycemia (NICTH) due to the PT was suspected. The tumor was emergently resected. A histological examination r...

Phyllodes (phylloides) tumors of the breast are uncommon neoplasms accounting for not more than 1 % all tumors. The disease occurs in women any age, often at 40–50 years. At early stage, has no specific clinical symptoms or diagnostic signs. In particular, according to Wang Sh. (2017), diagnosis can be made some cases only based on histological examination excised material. We present our case ...

Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate if MR imaging could differentiate phyllodes breast tumors and fibroadenomas. Materials and Methods: Dynamic contrast enhanced MR imaging was performed for six patients with six phyllodes breast tumors and results were compared with respect to morphology and contrast enhancement with those of 69 fibroadenomas of 50 patients. Results: Smooth ma...
