A Case of Multiple Recurrence of Phyllodes Tumor

Introduction: Phyllodes tumours are rare fibroepithelial lesions that account for less than 1% of all Breast neoplasms.Triple assessment is done for diagnosing the disease.Local recurrence occurs in approximately 15% of patients and is more common after incomplete excision. Aim:We intended to study the case of local recurrence of phyllodes tumor. Clinical case:A 64-year-old woman came with complaint of lump in right breast since 2 months.History of previous 2 surgery of right breast was done.Histopathology report was suggestive of phyllodes tumor.Management: Simple mastectomy was done and patient was followed up after 3 and 6 months. Conclusion:Treatment of phyllodes tumor can be by either wide excision or mastectomy provided histologically clear specimen margins are ensured.Nodal metastases are rare and routine axillary dissection is not recommended.
