Phyllodes tumor of the breast: a case report
Abstract
Phyllodes tumor is a rare and locally aggressive fibroepithelial tumor of the breast. Patients generally present with a firm, unilateral, rapidly growing and painless breast mass. Phyllodes tumors are consistently overlooked as radiological and histopathological examinations have an inadequate diagnostic accuracy. In this article, we present the findings of a patient presenting to our clinic with a palpable mass in both breasts revealed to be phyllodes tumor.

Keywords : Phyllodes tumor, breast, neoplasm, fibroepithelial
