Giant juvenile phyllodes tumour: a case report

This case highlights the diagnostic and therapeutic challenges specific to paediatric phyllodes tumours. Given their rarity and potential for misdiagnosis, surgical excision followed by histological evaluation remains crucial for accurate diagnosis. Although treatment principles are generally aligned with adult protocols, adolescents management must also consider breast development and requires a more nuanced surgical approach. Balancing oncological safety with the preservation of breast contour and function introduces unique complexities in this age group. Reporting such cases contributes to the limited literature on juvenile phyllodes tumours and raises awareness of their distinct clinical considerations.

Abstract

This case highlights the diagnostic and therapeutic challenges specific to paediatric phyllodes tumours. Given their rarity and potential for misdiagnosis, surgical excision followed by histological evaluation remains crucial for accurate diagnosis. Although treatment principles are generally aligned with adult protocols, adolescents management must also consider breast development and requires a more nuanced surgical approach. Balancing oncological safety with the preservation of breast contour and function introduces unique complexities in this age group. Reporting such cases contributes to the limited literature on juvenile phyllodes tumours and raises awareness of their distinct clinical considerations.
