Retrospective Analysis of Management of Phyllodes Tumours

Purpose: Phyllodes tumours are rare fibroepithelial malignancies graded depending on stromal component as benign, borderline and malignant [1]. Malignant phyllodes are highly aggressive and because of their clinical behaviour and prognosis should be treated as primary breast sarcomas rather than infiltrating ductal carcinomas [2]. Treatment principles are based on retrospective series and case reports. Surgery is the main treatment, aiming for surgical margin >1 cm (based on NCCN guidelines) with adjuvant RT considered [3].
