Abstract:
The authors describe a case of cystosarcoma phylloides of the breast in an 11-year-old girl. The clinical examination showed a voluminous painless tumour which had grown rapidly. Mammography revealed a dense imaging of this tumour with a 6 cm diameter. Surgical removal preserved the healthy tissues and gave a good morphological result. The histologic examination confirmed a double component phylloid tumour with a predominant mesenchymatous part.
