Abstract

Phyllodes sarcoma of the breast is rare and aggressive. It is most commonly observed in women, primarily affecting the right breast, and has an average size of 6 cm. Clinically, it can present as a mobile and firm mass or as a large breast mass with skin distension. On imaging, it typically appears as an irregular mass on mammography, a hypoechoic mass with irregular contours on ultrasound, and shows intense and heterogeneous contrast enhancement on MRI. The treatment of phyllodes sarcoma of the breast involves surgery, radiotherapy, and possibly chemotherapy. The prognosis of this tumor is poor. This article highlights the importance of imaging in the diagnosis and management of phyllodes sarcoma of the breast, providing information on the radiological characteristics of this rare and aggressive tumor.
