GIANT BREAST PHYLLODE TUMORS IN IVF PATIENTS: BASIC PRINCIPLES AND CASE REPORTS
Main Article Content
Abstract
The World Organization (WHO) 2018 histopathological classification of breast tumors, in the group Fibroepithelial Tumor and Hamartomas there are Phyllodes tumors (tumors have original of epithelial fibers cell). This type of breast tumor is uncommon, accounting for <1% of all breast tumors. They can appear in 3 forms: Benign, marginal and malignant; and is usually found in women between the ages of 42 and 45. Approximately 16% to 30% of Phyllodes tumors are malignant. In the breast, malignant neoplasms usually grow rapidly but often metastasize late, mainly to the lungs. Surgical treatment is the most important method for phyllodes tumors with indications ranging from wide tumor excision to mastectomy. We report a case of ulcerated giant phyllodes tumor in a 35-year-old female patient. The tumor was discovered at the 27th week of gestation with in vitro fertilization and increased in volume significant quickly. After 35 weeks, the patient had a cesarean section and the giant breast tumor was removed 1 week later. Pathology is phyllodes tumor (Borderline).
