Article Abstract
Unlabelled: Phyllodes tumours (PTs) are rare fibroepithelial neoplasms representing about 0,2% to 2% of all breast tumors with an incidence of about 2.1 per million. The classification proposed by the World Health Organization for PTs into benign, borderline, and malignant is based on a combination of several histologic features. High-grade malignant phyllodes tumors may spread by hematogenous route. While smaller and moderate size malignant phyllodes may typically be seen, gigantic ones with larger than 10 cm in diameter are very rare. We report an unusual case of a giant malignant phyllodes tumor with metastases that grew over a 6 years period causing significant ulceration, body disfigurement and physical transformation. Our experience indicated that surgical treatment of malignant phyllodes tumor might be an option for improving patients' quality of life, regardless of the extremely poor prognosis.
Key Words: Breast, Malignant phyllodes tumor, Surgical treatment.

Introduction: Phyllodes tumor (PT) are rarely seen in young population. Some authors believe that PT behave less aggressively in young patients and the need for aggressive management is questioned.
Objective: We aimed to describe the clinicopathological features of PT in pediatric and adolescent population.
Malignant phyllodes tumors of the breast are rare fibroepithelial neoplasms with aggressive behavior and high recurrence rates. They pose significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges due to their overlap with other malignancies, necessitating accurate diagnosis and a tailored treatment approach to improve patient outcomes. A 29-year-old Asian female initially underwent a lumpectomy for a right breast mass diagnosed as a phyllodes tumor on histopathology.

Background: Fibroadenomas (FA) and phyllodes tumors (PT) are fibroepithelial neoplasms and are difficult to differentiate radiographically and histologically. We present a partially infarcted borderline PT in an adolescent with rapid tumor enlargement within 24 hours. Tumor infarction made the diagnostic work-up difficult.

Breast cancer is a significant cause of cancer-related mortality among women around the globe, underscoring the need for early and accurate diagnosis. Typically, histopathological analysis of biopsy slides is utilized for tumor classification. However, it is labor-intensive, subjective, and often affected by inter-observer variability.

Aims: For phyllodes tumours (PT), local and distant recurrence rates increase with higher grades and are difficult to predict. The Singapore nomogram has been used to predict recurrence events for PT. We aimed to test this nomogram for accuracy in a US cohort and to compare with a histological score.
