Abstract

The diagnosis of benign, malignant or borderline phylloides tumor of the breast is based on a combination of clinical and histological features but the biological behavior of this neoplasm is not often predictable: the most important indicators of malignant behavior are underscored. Only a few patients with malignant or borderline lesions develop distant metastasis; local recurrences do not appear to effect survival: as a consequence, wide resection should to be primary treatment and axillary dissection is not worthwhile.
