[Phyllodes tumor of the breast (cystosarcoma phyllodes) (apropos 3 cases)].
There have been described three cases of the breast phyllodes tumour, i.e., fibroepithelial tumour, histologically both benign and on borderline, or expressively malignant (sarcoma). The mean age of patients concerned is of about 50 years old at the time of neoplasm diagnosis. If the surgical removal is incomplete, therein a large number of recurrences occurs. Diagnostic procedures are based on clinical examination (it is remarked the abnormal wideness of the tumour) as well as mammography, echography, needle biopsy. Surgical treatment is always based on large tumorectomy which results are sufficient in benign tumours. In malignant phylloides a total mastectomy is required without axillary lymphadenectomy owing to the hematic dissemination. Usually, after surgical treatment, survival rate seems better as compared to that of breast cancer.
