What is it about?
Phyllodes tumours of the breast are uncommon and difficult to treat due to the ambiguity of the diagnosis and the unpredictability of the disease's progression. Here, we present the case of a 54-year-old female patient who presented with an ulcerating, bourging lesion in her left breast. The diagnosis was confirmed by a histological study. Surgical management was indicated.

Why is it important?
Phyllodes tumours of the breast are rare fibroepithelial tumours that tend to grow rapidly and aggressively, with a high potential for local relapse and/or metastasis [1].
Perspectives
They mainly occur in middle-aged patients (aged 45–50). Adjuvant radiotherapy should be considered in cases of conservative treatment or in the presence of factors predictive of local recurrence [2,3].
