A comprehensive study of fibroepithelial lesion of breast with special . . . Fibroadenoma and benign phyllodes tumor can be difficult to distinguish in some cases where focal leaf like growth pattern and hypercellularity can be seen It is a good practice to evaluate the lesion as whole to come to a definitive diagnosis rather than emphasising on focal features
Fibroadenoma versus phyllodes tumor: a vexing problem revisited! Fibroepithelial lesions of the breast include fibroadenoma (FA) and phyllodes tumor (PT) Fibroadenomas are benign while phyllodes tumor range from benign, indolent neoplasms to malignant tumors capable of distant metastasis
Morphological features of 52 cases of breast phyllodes tumours with . . . Typical phyllodes tumours (PTs) of the breast are fibroepithelial neoplasms characterised histologically by stromal hypercellularity and leaf-like structures However, morphological changes may be atypical in some cases, increasing the difficulty of diagnosis and the likelihood of misdiagnosis
Phyllodes Tumor. – Histopathology. guru Stroma is composed of spindle cells which are neoplastic in this lesion Stromal proliferation produces bulbous protrusions into the ductal spaces giving it leaf like architecture
Malignant phyllodes tumor of the breast: a systematic review Stromal cellularity in PTs may be seen throughout the lesion or close to the leafy fronds Of note, the presence of leaf-like processes may be found within intracanalicular fibroadenomas, although in such tumors these processes are usually scant, hypocellular and have an edematous stromal component
