Review of Two Cases of Borderline Phyllodes Tumor of the Breast with Metastasis

Abstract

The case series outlines two cases of borderline phyllodes tumor which later on transformed into malignant phyllodes with metastasis. Malignant phyllodes tumors, although rare, exhibit unique clinicopathological features that necessitate prompt and accurate diagnosis to mitigate their higher recurrence rates. The current lack of consensus on optimal surgical techniques and the appropriate application of radiation and chemotherapy underscores the critical need for a standardized treatment protocol. This is particularly crucial in palliative care settings, where a standardized approach will play a vital role in reducing tumor recurrence and improving patient outcomes.
