Abstract
A 44-year-old Japanese woman had noted a mass in the right breast about 10 years earlier. The mass gradually increased in size and developed overlying ulceration. By the time the patient presented at our hospital, the tumor had reached a diameter of 24 cm. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography revealed an irregular contrast effect in the tumor, but no metastases. Needle biopsy indicated a phyllodes tumor, and right mastectomy followed by skin grafting was performed. The 3-kg excised specimen was pathologically diagnosed as phyllodes tumor (borderline). Phyllodes tumors of the breast are comparatively rare, and rapidly growing to the large tumor. When rubefaction of the skin, necrosis or ulceration is caused by the tumor, the patient will consult dermatology. The biological properties of this tumor remain contentious. Diligent followup is required after tumor resection to ensure the absence of both local recurrence and distant metastases.
