Article Synopsis
- Phyllodes tumors (PTs) are rare breast neoplasms that are primarily benign but have a high risk of local recurrence, necessitating additional treatments.
- This study analyzed the clinical and pathological features of 52 women treated for PTs over six years, noting that most patients were premenopausal with a significant portion identified as having benign tumors.
- Surgical outcomes showed that while mastectomy patients had higher local recurrence rates, the margins and recurrence patterns were similar between wide local excisions and mastectomy, suggesting that a negative margin of over 1 mm is generally acceptable.
