Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Malignant phyllodes tumors are rare breast neoplasms.
  • They have a propensity for local recurrence and distant metastasis.

Observation:

  • A 77-year-old woman presented with a malignant phyllodes tumor of the right breast.
  • The tumor exhibited exclusive stromal metastases to axillary lymph nodes.

Findings:

  • The patient's axillary lymph node metastases were refractory to both radiotherapy and chemotherapy.
  • This indicates a poor response to conventional treatment modalities.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the aggressive nature of some malignant phyllodes tumors.
  • It underscores the need for exploring novel therapeutic strategies for refractory cases.
