ABSTRACT

Phyllodes tumour of the breast is a rare fibroepithelial neoplasm with risks of local recurrence and uncommon metastases. They are biphasic breast tumours occurring usually in adult females and are composed of benign epithelial component and a cellular spindle cell stroma forming leaf like structures. They occur predominantly in middle-aged women (40-50 years). Phyllodes tumor can certainly occur in young adults and even in adolescents. Diagnosis is based on clinical examination, mammography/sonography and FNAC but final diagnosis is based on histological findings. Benign tumours are treated by lumpectomy while recurrent tumours, malignant tumours and massive tumours require mastectomy without axillary dissection. We report a case of Borderline Phyllodes tumour with osseous metaplasia in a 42years old female because of its rarity.
