A Case of Malignant Phyllodes Tumor Effectively Treated by Radiation Therapy as a Palliative Medicine

The current report presents the case of a 46-year-old woman with phyllodes tumor metastasis to the anterior chest wall treated by radiation therapy. Although the lesion was not controlled with surgery and chemotherapy, the tumor size markedly reduced after radiation therapy, and bleeding and foul odor from the tumor stopped. Radiation therapy for phyllodes tumor appears to be an effective treatment and should be recognized as one choice of palliative medicine.
