Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Oncology
  • Surgical Pathology
  • Developmental Biology

Background:

  • Breast masses in pediatric patients are rare, with ectopic breast tissue being even less common.
  • Ectopic breast tissue can occur in unusual locations, presenting diagnostic challenges.
  • Phyllodes tumors are rare biphasic neoplasms of the breast.

Observation:

  • A 12-year-old female presented with a palpable, hard, nonmobile mass in the right breast.
  • Surgical exploration revealed the mass was located inferior to the pectoralis major muscle.
  • The mass had no apparent connection to the orthotopic breast tissue.

Findings:

  • Histopathological examination confirmed a well-encapsulated biphasic lesion.
  • The lesion exhibited features characteristic of a phyllodes tumor.
  • This represents an unreported case of a phyllodes tumor within aberrant breast tissue under the pectoralis muscle.

Implications:

  • This case expands the known anatomical locations for ectopic breast tissue and its associated pathologies.
  • Highlights the importance of thorough surgical exploration and histopathological analysis for pediatric breast masses.
  • Contributes to the understanding of rare breast tumor presentations in adolescents.
