Cystosarcoma phyllodes: Report of two cases

Abstract

Cystosarcoma phyllodes is a rare predominantly benign tumour usually affecting the female breast. In a retrospective review of giant breast masses seen over a period of 20 years, we encountered two cases of this tumour, one benign and the other malignant, the latter exhibiting the very unusual feature of axially Iymph node metastases. We present these two cases and briefly review the literature.
