Abstract The paper aims to introduce the case of an extensive breast malignancy – phyllodes tumor. This type of breast neoplasm is relatively rare. Indeed, it accounts for only 0.3-1% of all breast malignant tumours. In the paper, patient, disease, and treatment methods were described and evaluated. The efficacy of surgical treatment and adjuvant therapy (radiotherapy and chemotherapy) was assessed based on literature data. The authors concluded that late diagnosis of phyllodes tumor causes the necessity of mastectomy and radiotherapy and aggravates the prognosis.

Malignant Phyllodes Tumor

Due to the rarity of phyllodes breast tumors (particularly malignant tumors), a limited number of described cases and a lack of randomized studies, we currently do not have absolute guidelines for treating these types of tumors. The following article presents the case of a patient with a malignant phyllodes breast tumor, with numerous local recurrences after primary mastectomy and the effects of treatment. The course of the patient’s disease emphasizes the purposefulness and effectiveness of aggressive surgical treatment. In the article, the authors show that leaving even small abnormalities within the scar just to observation is not good practice; surgeons should try to remove all, even unclear, abnormalities.

Abstract Background: Malignant phyllodes tumors of the breast are fairly rare and fast-growing tumors. They do not respond to chemotherapy or hormonal therapy except in malignant phyllodes tumors. Therefore, the primary treatment for malignant phyllodes tumors is wide surgical excision. Case presentation: Herein, we report a case study which featured a 26-year-old woman presented with a giant malignant phyllodes tumor measuring 20 × 17 × 13 cm. In order to reduce the chance of local recurrence, treatment for these types of tumors usually involves extensive excision with at least 1 cm of surgical margins. The patient underwent extended lumpectomy with 1-3 cm surgical margins, which left a large skin defect of 25 × 15 cm. Repair of such a large skin defect is a challenge to breast surgeons. This is the first reported case in which a “kiss” flap was successfully used to repair the skin defect created after resection of a giant malignant phyllodes tumor.Conclusions: The kiss flap could be considered as an effective method to repair large chest wall defects after resection of giant phyllodes tumors.

Background: Malignant phyllodes tumors of the breast are rare biphasic neoplasms. Only few cases related to pregnancy have been reported. Case Report: A 37-year-old woman presented with swelling and pain in her left breast as well as hyperemia on the breast skin, 4 weeks after labor. In her family history, her aunt and maternal cousin had had a breast cancer diagnosis. Clinical evaluation of the patient was consistent with a breast abscess. Therefore, abscess drainage and biopsy from the cavity wall were performed. However, the biopsy was diagnosed as malignant phyllodes tumor. An evaluation by ultrasonography showed a well-defined hypoechoic mass with many cystic spaces covering the entire breast tissue. Therefore, a simple mastectomy was performed. Microscopic examination revealed a high-grade malignant phyllodes tumor. Additionally, bone cyst-like areas in the form of sponge-like blood-filled non-endothelialized spaces were observed. Conclusions: Since the breasts become larger due to the physiological changes during pregnancy, any underlying breast lesions may be obscured. Therefore, clinical breast examination in the first visit of pregnancy is important.

Abstract Background Granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF)-producing tumors can cause leukocytosis despite an absence of infection. G-CSF-producing tumors have been reported in various organs such as the lung, esophagus, and stomach but rarely in the breast. We report a case of G-CSF-producing malignant phyllodes tumor of the breast. Case presentation An 84-year-old woman visited our hospital complaining of a lump in her left breast without fever and pain. Laboratory tests revealed elevated white blood cell (WBC) count and G-CSF levels. A malignant tumor of the breast was diagnosed by core needle biopsy. We performed a total mastectomy and sentinel lymph node biopsy. The tumor was identified as a G-CSF-producing malignant phyllodes tumor. Within 7 days after surgery, the patient’s WBC count and G-CSF level had decreased to normal levels. She is alive without recurrence 13 months after surgery. Conclusions We encountered a rare case of G-CSF-producing malignant phyllodes tumor of the breast. PET–CT revealed diffuse accumulation of FDG in the bone. Phyllodes tumors need to be differentiated from bone metastasis, lymphoma, and leukemia. We must be careful to not mistake this type of tumor for bone marrow metastasis.
