INTRODUCTION Phyllodes tumors are uncommon biphasic fibroepithelial neoplasms of the breast of varying malignant potential occurring in middle aged women. They exhibit diverse biological behavior. Margin free excision is the mainstay of treatment. CASE PRESENTATION A 27 year-old lady was referred with a painless ulceroproliferative right breast lesion which had rapidly progressed over six mon...

Malignant metastases to the heart and pericardium, which occur far more often than do primary cardiac neoplasms, typically lead to fatal outcomes. The phyllodes tumor is a rare, predominantly benign fibroepithelial breast neoplasm with variable malignancy potential. Herein, we describe the case of a 35-year-old woman who, 3 years after undergoing a simple mastectomy for a rapidly enlarging brea...

Congenital fibrous epulis is a very rare benign gingival tumor in infants. Its exact etiology remains unknown. The past literature showed that there was no other abnormality around or in the tumors in their mouths. In our clinic we found seven cases of congenital fibrous epulis and all the cases had one or two natal teeth in the tumors. We described the clinical and histopathologic characterist...

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...

OBJECTIVE Phyllodes tumor of the breast is a rare fibroepithelial breast tumor that comprise 0.3-0.9% of primary breast neoplasms. In this study, we aimed to present clinicopathologic symptoms of our patients along with their treatment modality. MATERIAL AND METHODS Clinicopathologic properties and treatment modality of 20 phyllodes tumor patients who underwent surgery between January 2008 an...

Phyllodes tumours are rare fibroepithelial lesions that account for less than 1% of all breast neoplasms. With the non-operative management of fibroadenomas widely adopted, the importance of phyllodes tumours today lies in the need to differentiate them from other benign breast lesions. All breast lumps should be triple assessed and the diagnosis of a phyllodes tumour considered in women, parti...
