Abstract

SUMMARY:_x000D_ Phyllodes tumor (PT) of the breast is rare in adolescent females, particularly malignant ones. It usually occurs in middle aged and older women. Malignant phyllodes (MP) do have a recurrence and a metastatic potential, unlike benign or borderline PT. We present the case of a 16-years old female presenting with a 6- month history of a progressive enlarged left breast mass. Tumor was excised as a mass of 7 cm in maximum diameter and sent for histopathological examination. The Histopathology revealed features of malignant phyllodes tumor that were confirmed by immunohistochemistry.
