Phyllodes tumor of the breast is a rare neoplasm, particularly in adolescent girls and young women. It is usually presented as a unilateral palpable mass. We are reporting the case of an 11-year-old adolescent girl who came to our Diagnostical Imaging Department with non-hematic nipple discharge. Ultrasound, mammography, and magnetic resonance imaging were performed. The histological examination showed a phyllodes tumor. The management and the biological behavior of this uncommon tumor are discussed with particular regard to the very unusual clinical presentation in this patient.

Abstract

Phyllodes tumor of the breast is a rare neoplasm, particularly in adolescent girls and young women. It is usually presented as a unilateral palpable mass. We are reporting the case of an 11-year-old adolescent girl who came to our Diagnostical Imaging Department with non-hematic nipple discharge. Ultrasound, mammography, and magnetic resonance imaging were performed. The histological examination showed a phyllodes tumor. The management and the biological behavior of this uncommon tumor are discussed with particular regard to the very unusual clinical presentation in this patient.
