Abstract

Phyllodes tumours are rare breast tumours. These fibro-epithelial neoplasms are classified as benign, borderline & malignant based on stromal & cellular patterns, but a reliable classification is challenging. The diagnosis is based on core needle biopsy. Treatment of choice is surgical excision with negative margins. We report the case of a giant phyllodes tumour weighing 4kg that was successfully managed with surgical excision.

Keywords: giant phyllodes.
