Article Abstract
The behavior of phyllodes tumors is unpredictable and can behave as benign fibroadenomas or malignant neoplasms mimicking the course of aggressive sarcomas, characterized by distant metastases and a high short-term mortality. The malignant forms are treated with surgery and adjuvant chemotherapy, but often with poor outcomes. We examine the first reported case of an aggressive osteosarcoma subtype of phyllodes tumor that recurred in the skull after total mastectomy and adjuvant chemotherapy. The skull lesion was treated with excision, and the patient currently remains disease-free.

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.
