CASE 756: PHYLLODES TUMOR, Dr PHAN THANH HẢI, Dr DƯƠNG NGỌC THÀNH, MEDIC MEDICAL CENTER, HCMC, VIETNAM.


A 51 year-old woman with a huge # 12 cm breast tumor BI-RAD 4B,  and fibroadenoma on two sides  were confirmed on breast ultrasound and mammography.






Results of 2 times of biopsy were fibroadenoma, benign tumor.



A lumpectomy performed and result was  phyllodes tumor.



Phyllodes tumors (or phylloides tumors) are rare breast tumors that start in the connective (stromal) tissue of the breast, not the ducts or glands (which is where most breast cancers start). Most phyllodes tumors are benign and only a small number are malignant (cancer).Jun 15, 2022
