BORDERLINE PHYLLODES TUMOUR
Abstract
We report a case of 40-year-old woman with a painful lump in the left breast. Mammography revealed a suspicious mass ACR BI-RADS category 4a. Excision biopsy revealed borderline phyllodes tumour. Our case highlights the signi cance of multidisciplinary approach in managing benign breast masses such as phyllodes tumours which have malignant potential and a high rate of recurrence.
Key words: Breast ultrasound, mammography, phyllodes breast tumour
