Journal Title: Journal of Medical Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 21, Issue 2
Abstract
Phyllodes tumour of breast is a rare fibro-epithelial tumour of the breast accounting for less than 1% of the tumours of breast. They are mostly found in females between 45-49 years of age; in contrast, invasive carcinomas of the breast are commonly seen a decade later. They are fast growing tumours with a median size of 4 cm and can grow upto 40 cm. They may be considered benign (58%), borderline (12%), or malignant (30%) depending on histological features of stromal cellularity, tumour infiltration at edge, and mitotic activity.
