Giant malignant phylloides tumor: case report.
2007
The incidence of phylloides breast tumors is less than 1% in the
population affected by breast cancers. The age at higher risk is between
35 and 45 years. These neoplasms are characterized by a proliferation
of mesenchimal and epithelial cells.
We present a rare case of giant malignant phylloides tumor
(28x21x15 cm) with a complet substitution of the gland. The clinical
presentation of phylloides tumors is heterogenous; the surgical treatment is a conservative one of the gland if the neoplastic lesion size is
less than 5 cm with a free margin of 1 cm and a mastectomy if the diameter of lesion is more than 5 cm. Complementary therapies still remain controversia
