Australas Radiol. 2003 Dec;47(4):434-7. doi: 10.1046/j.1440-1673.2003.01215.x.

Abstract

Twenty-six patients of Cystosarcoma phyllodes, treated between July 1994 and July 2001, were analysed retrospectively. Median age at presentation was 38 years (range 13-61 years). Mean size of the lesion was 6 cm. There were 77% left-sided lesions and 23% right-sided lesions. Histologically, 58% lesions were benign, 11% borderline and 31% malignant lesions. All patients underwent definitive surgical procedure in the form of wide local excision or mastectomy. Four patients received postoperative radiotherapy. Median follow-up period was 35 months. Six patients showed recurrence, and four of these were malignant. Median disease-free survival period was 34 months.
