Epithelial Lesion

Phyllodes is a tumor of breast. This fibro-epithelial lesion occurs in less than 1% of all breast tumors in female. They can be benign, borderline or malignant. It commonly occurs in age group of 45-50 years. It is also known as cystosarcoma phyllodes/ serocystic disease of Brodie. Treatment can be either wide local excision or mastectomy to achieve histologically clear margin. Palpable axillary lymphadenopathy can be identified in up-to 10-15% of patients but less than 1% has pathological positive nodes. Mammography and ultrasonography are main imaging modalities. Here, we present a case of a 14-year-old female presenting with a rapidly enlarging breast mass, which was ultimately found to be a Phyllodes tumor.

Study Population

Background: The frequency of mesenchymal breast tumors is very low, being represented mostly by tumors with biphasic proliferation (phyllodes tumors) and less by other types of non-epithelial tumors. Objective: To review the Management of phyllodes tumors of the breast in the NCI Cairo university during a period of 10 years (2000 till 2010). Material and Methods: Retrospective study including 99 patients who diagnosed and treated with phyllodes tumors of the breast between (2000 to 2010). Data were collected from the biostatistics and cancer epidemiology department. Results: Out of 99 patients; 51 (51.5%) were benign and 32 (32.3%) were borderline and 16 (16%) were malignant; the median age of the study population was 45.5 years (range 18–71 years).The main radiological tool of diagnosis was breast US and mammography 100%. Preoperative fine needle aspiration (FNA) was performed in 12(37.5%) cases for cytodiagnosis but true cut biopsy was done in 87 (87%) cases. Wide local excision was done in 86%, wide local excision with axillary evacuation was done in 1% only, simple mastectomy was done in 9.3% and modified radical mastectomy was done only in 3% of all cases. Conclusion: Different surgical modalities are considered the main line for management of phyllodes breast tumors. Local recurrence can be avoided with wide local excision from the first surgery. Axillary LN dissection is not a role in management of breast PT.

AbstractWe report a case of polymorphous low grade adenocarcinoma involving the palate of a 12-year-old girl, the first example of this tumour occurring in the paediatric age group. The tumour displayed infiltrative growth, neural invasion, variegated histological patterns, and minimal cytological atypia. The patient remained disease-free four years after wide local excision of the tumour. The distinction of polymorphous low grade adenocarcinoma from pleomorphic adenoma and adenoid cystic carcinoma is also discussed.

Surgical Methods

Background. Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP), a rare low-grade sarcoma of fibroblast origin, tends to extend in a finger-like fashion beyond macroscopic tumor margins. Therefore, incomplete removal and subsequent recurrence are common. This study aimed to determine the efficacy of wide local excision (WLE) for controlling local recurrence of DFSP.Methods. The medical records of 90 DFSP patients who received WLE at our hospital between June 1992 and January 2015 were retrospectively reviewed. WLE was conducted including a 3 cm (range, 1 to 5 cm) safety margin according to tumor size, location, and recurrence status. Clinical and tumor characteristics and surgical methods were evaluated for risk factor analysis and local recurrence-free survival.Results. DFSP occurred most often in patients in their 30s (30%) and on the trunk (51.1%). Five patients (5.5%) experienced local recurrence during the 43.4-month follow-up period. Recurrence was found at a mean of 10.8 months after WLE. Although no factors were significantly associated with recurrence, recurrences were more frequent in head and neck. Recurrence-free survival was 87% in 6 years and 77% in 7 years.Conclusions. WLE with adequate lateral and deep margins can effectively control local recurrence rate and is a simple and effective method to treat DFSP.
