title: Multinucleated giant cells in malignant phyllodes tumor of the breast.
abstract: A case of malignant phyllodes tumor of the breast with unique multinucleated giant cells is reported. The possible nature of the giant cells is discussed briefly. The existence of such giant cells makes judgement of the tumor difficult, so that diagnosis must also be based on other histological criteria of malignancy.
