  • Title: Giant phyllode tumour (cystosarcoma) of breast: a rare size recurrent breast lump.
    Author: Gurjar V, Bharaney R.
    Journal: J Indian Med Assoc; 2013 Sep; 111(9):618, 620. PubMed ID: 24968528.
    Abstract:
    Phyllode tumour is a rare fibro-epithelial lesion that accounts for less than 1% of all neoplasms. It occurs in females in the 3rd and 4th decades. In 15% of patients local recurrence occurs and in 20% of patients distal metastasis is seen. Here we are presenting a case of a very rare size recurrent phyllode tumour with malignant changes which was associated with contralateral breast fibro-adenoma. Patient was investigated and operated successfully for right sided mastectomy for recurrent giant phyllode tumour and wide excision for opposite side fibro-adenoma.
