A Rare Case of Malignant Phyllodes Tumor in a Young Female

Abstract

Phyllodes tumours are rare breast tumours that represent less than 1% of all breast tumours. They can be classified into three categories based on their histological features: benign, borderline, and malignant. Malignant phyllodes tumours are the most aggressive and can metastasize to distant organs. Here we report a case of a 26-year-old female with a malignant phyllodes tumour of the breast. The patient underwent wide local excision followed by adjuvant radiotherapy. We discuss the diagnostic and therapeutic challenges of managing this rare malignancy.
