Journal Title: International Journal of Medical and Health Sciences - Year 2014, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
Phyllodes tumors are rare fibroepithelial breast tumors with biphasic proliferations, usually seen in women in the age group of 30- 70 yrs. Phyllodes tumors appears with the frequency of 0.4% of all the breast tumors. Clinically, phyllodes tumor can mimic a breast carcinoma. Therefore the preoperative diagnosis by cytological examination on a material obtain by fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is very important for adequate treatment of these tumors. Herein, we present a case of 60-year-old female presented to the surgical OPD of our hospital with huge left breast mass measuring 28x25x16cms. On FNAC and subsequently on histopathology diagnosed as giant borderline Phyllodes tumor of the left breast. Phyllodes tumor remains a challenge for both pathologist and clinician, in view of its unpredictable nature. Hence early and proper diagnosis of these tumors by FNAC is always warranted for the optimal treatment.
