phyllodes tumour (medicine)


phyllodes tumour


A variant of mammary fibroadenoma, usually of large size, with an unusually cellular, sarcoma-like stroma. It is partially epithelial and partially nonepithelial. It is both common and usually benign, although it has been known to metastasize. It may achieve great size and sometimes invades adjacent breast tissue. A phyllodes tumour is best handled by local excision with a rim of breast tissue.
