Abstract
Phyllodes tumors are uncommon biphasic fibro epithelial neoplasm of breast, comprising of <1% of all breast neoplasm. We report a case of a 65 years old female patient admitted to the General Surgery Department with palpable mass in right breast. Clinical diagnosis was made as Phyllodes tumor. FNAC revealed benign cystic lesion with possibility of epidermal cyst. Mass was excised sent for Histopathologic examination. It was diagnosed as malignant phyllodes tumor with squamous metaplasia. Squamous metaplasia with in phyllodes tumor is rare and may occur in benign, borderline and malignant types. There are few cases reported in the literature. We report this case in view of its rarity.
