  • Title: [Phyllodes tumor of the breast].
    Author: Rossi M, Finucci G, Cascini F, Bianchini M, Tassinari G.
    Journal: Minerva Chir; 1992 Jun 15; 47(11):1047-52. PubMed ID: 1331870.
    Abstract:
    The diagnosis of benign, malignant or borderline phylloides tumor of the breast is based on a combination of clinical and histological features but the biological behavior of this neoplasm is not often predictable: the most important indicators of malignant behavior are underscored. Only a few patients with malignant or borderline lesions develop distant metastasis; local recurrences do not appear to effect survival: as a consequence, wide resection should to be primary treatment and axillary dissection is not worthwhile.
