Abstract
To establish histological and biological parameters that can predict phyllodes tumours on core biopsy specimens of indeterminate fibroepithelial neoplasms.
Core biopsy specimens of fibroepithelial lesions diagnosed at the Department of Pathology, Singapore General Hospital from 2002 to 2007 were rev...

Abstract
We present a case of malignant phyllodes tumor which was composed almost exclusively of a fibrosarcomatous component. A 52-year-old Japanese female noted a rapid increase of her right breast tumor. On admission, multiple lung metastases were detected by imaging. Right simple mastectomy was performed...

Abstract
We report an 18-year-old Kuwaiti girl who presented with a painless mass in the left labium majus, which was subsequently excised. Microscopic examination revealed morphologic pattern characteristic of benign phyllodes tumor. Immunostaining demonstrated the presence of estrogen receptors and progest...

Abstract
We report a case of recurrent phyllodes tumor of the vulva in a 39-year-old woman. The tumor showed biphasic morphology with a typical leaf-like pattern and a cellular stroma with rare mitosis. Expression of estrogen receptors, progesterone receptors mammoglobin, and BRST-2 was shown in the epitheli...

Abstract
We report the case of a patient who presented with hypoglycemia associated with a giant breast mass and presence of serum high-molecular-weight insulin-like growth factor II (big IGF-II). In July 2005, a 49-year-old woman was admitted because of delirium, transient loss of consciousness, and a giant...

Abstract
Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC) has been replaced by Needle core biopsy (NCB) as the pathological investigation of choice in pre-operative diagnosis of breast lesions. Despite the greater yield of material with spatial information, the distinction between fibroepithelial lesions of the breast...

Abstract
Phyllodes tumor is an uncommon biphasic breast tumor, with the ability to recur and metastasize, and it behaves biologically like a stromal neoplasm. Traditionally, phyllodes tumors are graded by the use of a set of histologic data into benign, borderline, and malignant. In most seri...

Abstract
The median age at diagnosis was 45.5 years (range: 21-69 years). Seven (70%) of 10 tumors were benign and 3 (30%) were malignant. The median tumor size was 29 mm (range: 12-80 mm). The least safe margin was 1 cm. Three of 10 patients had malignant PT and underwent simple mastectomy. Local recurrence...

Abstract
Phyllodes tumour is an uncommon fibro epithelial tumour of breast that often presents clinically as a rapidly enlarging lump. On mammography it appears as a soft tissue density well circumscribed mass. Ultrasound shows it to be a solid hypoechoic mass with small cystic spaces. A case of malignant ph...

The patients were ranged per age from 30--62 years (mean 43.3 years, median 39 years). A total of 35 cases of MPT were included: 20 benign (57%), 6 borderline malignant (17%) and 9 malignant (26%). Twenty-two patients (62.8%) underwent segmental mastectomy, while 13 (37.2%) had total mastectomies. T...

We report a 65 year-old man with a large cystic phyllodes tumor of the prostate. The patient complained of abdominal discomfort and had a soft palpable mass. Computer tomography showed a solid and cystic mass in the pelvic fossa; the mass was adjacent only to the prostate. We excised the mass. Micro...

Abstract
We performed a mastectomy during which a tumour measuring 48 x 33 x 25 cm was resected. Histological examination revealed a borderline phyllodes tumour. Phyllodes tumours are rare fibroepithelial neoplasms of the breast and pre-operatively these are often difficult to differentiate from fibroadenoma...

We assessed clinical aspects of 79 phyllodes tumors regarding patient's age and localization of the tumors. In 17 out of 79 cases, it has been performed FNA within the tumors with further cytological examination on the smears obtained. The median age of the patients was 46.07-year-old, being progres...

The proteolytic destruction of cyclin B is an important event during cell division. Cyclin B proteolysis is triggered by the anaphase-promoting complex. Therefore, cell cycle dysregulation due to anaphase-promoting complex loss contributes to cell transformation and human carcinogenesis. This study...

Abstract
Phyllode tumors of the breast are fibroepithelial tumors similar to fibroadenomas but with a predominant conjunctive tissue component. They are rare with an incidence of less than 1% of all breast neoplasms. They can be divided in three categories: benign, borderline, malignant. The Authors report t...

Abstract
Malignant phyllodes tumors of the breast local recurrence rates are 15% or greater for patients with tumors >2 cm treated by lumpectomy alone and tumors >10 cm treated by mastectomy alone. Adjuvant radiation therapy should be evaluated for these patients. This may be especially important because our...

We also identified one p16INK4a mutation and evidence of methylation of p16INK4a in malignant PTs. Our evidence shows that inactivation of this gene is important in the development of malignant PTs. In selected PTs, multiple areas of stroma were isolated and analysed separately by array-CGH. We foun...

Of 1050 breast specimens received, 722 (68.8%) were benign. Fibroadenoma was the most common lesion with 318 cases (44%), occurring at a mean age of 16-32 years. Next was fibrocystic changes with 165 cases (22.9%) at a mean age of 23-45 years. Normal breast in the axillary tail region was seen in 32...

Abstract
This study showed that phyllodes tumor patients with no RD after treatment have better local control. Benign tumors have a good prognosis after surgery alone. In borderline and malignant tumors, TM had better results than BCS. Thus, in these forms adjuvant RT should be considered according to histol...
