Abstract
Phyllodes tumor of the breast is a rare fibroepithelial tumor. It has three histopathological forms; benign,
borderline and malign. It is commonly mixed with fibroadenoma in imaging. Local excision is enough in benign lesions.
Borderline lesions require close monitoring following a wide local excision. In malign lesions, mastectomy is suggested.
In this case report, we present a case with 15 cm benign phyllodes tumor, which was removed with local excision, was
performed.
