Phyllodes tumors (or phylloides tumors) are rare breast tumors that start in the connective (stromal) tissue of the breast, not the ducts or glands (which is where most breast cancers start). Most phyllodes tumors are benign and only a small number are malignant (cancer)

2025年1月15日 · Borderline phyllodes tumor allows for, albeit a lesser degree compared to malignant phyllodes tumor, stromal overgrowth and an infiltrative tumor border. Multinucleated stromal giant cells can be seen in all grades of phyllodes tumor and …

The term "phyllodes," which means leaf-like, describes the typical papillary projections that are seen on pathologic examination. Although they were originally called "cystosarcoma phyllodes" by Johannes Müller in 1838 [ 2 ], phyllodes tumors only occasionally have cystic components and are not true sarcomas by either cellular origin or ...

2022年8月16日 · Phyllodes tumors are also called cystosarcoma phyllodes and phylloides tumors. Phyllodes tumors usually present themselves as firm, smooth-sided breast lumps. This type of breast tumor grows very quickly—so much so that the lump can become noticeably bigger in a couple of weeks. Breast skin over the tumor may become reddish and warm to the touch.

2023年7月13日 · Phyllodes tumor—once more commonly referred to as cystosarcoma phyllodes (from Greek kystis ["sac, bladder"], sarkoma ["fleshy tumor"], and phyllon ["leaf"])—is a rare, predominantly benign...
