We report a case of a 65 years old female patient admitted to the General Surgery Department with palpable mass in right breast. Clinical diagnosis was made as Phyllodes tumor. FNAC revealed benign cystic lesion with possibility of epidermal cyst. Mass was excised sent for Histopathologic examination. It was diagnosed as malignant phyllodes tumor with squamous metaplasia.
