Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Pathology
  • Maxillofacial Surgery

Background:

  • Cystosarcoma phyllodes is a rare breast tumor with malignant potential.
  • Metastasis of this tumor is uncommon, with limited documented sites.

Observation:

  • A unique case of malignant cystosarcoma phyllodes presenting with metastasis to the maxilla was identified.
  • This represents the first reported instance of maxillary involvement by this malignancy.

Findings:

  • The tumor exhibited aggressive behavior, leading to secondary involvement of the maxillary bone.
  • Diagnostic and imaging findings confirmed the metastatic nature of the maxillary lesion.

Implications:

  • Highlights the potential for rare metastatic patterns in malignant cystosarcoma phyllodes.
