  • Title: Successful resection of giant solitary pulmonary metastasis from a phyllodes tumor.
    Author: Ganti S, Svennevik E, Ali FS, Anikin V.
    Journal: Ann Thorac Surg; 2007 Nov; 84(5):1750-2. PubMed ID: 17954106.
    Abstract:
    Phyllodes tumors are rare fibroepithelial tumors that make up less than 1% of all breast tumors. Malignant phyllodes tumors are associated with a 25% incidence of distant metastasis, which is invariably fatal within 24 months. We report successful resection of a solitary pulmonary metastasis in the left chest in a 50-year-old woman 7 years after a right-sided mastectomy for malignant phyllodes tumor.
