title: High grade phyllodes tumour of the prostate.
abstract: A case of malignant variant of prostatic phyllodes tumour in a 61-yr-old man is reported. This is an extremely rare neoplasm that closely resembles the not uncommon tumour of the female breast. Only 18 previous cases have been described. Although an initially benign clinical behavior has been presumed a high probability of local recurrence or aggressive behavior may occur.
