Phyllode tumors of the breast are fibroepithelial tumors similar to fibroadenomas but with a predominant conjunctive tissue component. They are rare with an incidence of less than 1% of all breast neoplasms. They can be divided in three categories: benign, borderline, malignant. The Authors report the case of a 53 years old woman who presented an exceptional 6.5 kg phylloid tumor of the left mamma. The diagnostic strategies, the surgical total mastectomy procedure with anterior thoracic parietectomy and the surgical reconstructive treatment are described.

Article Synopsis
- Soft tissue sarcomas (STSs) make up less than 1% of all malignant tumors in humans, and treatment for metastatic STSs focuses on palliative care due to poor prognosis.
- A study evaluated the effectiveness of low-dose radiotherapy combined with metronomic therapy in 16 heavily treated patients with metastatic STSs, aiming to assess their response and quality of life.
- Results showed that 43.75% of patients achieved a partial response, and all reported improved quality of life compared to their previous treatment, demonstrating potential benefits of this combined approach in managing STSs.

Benign proliferative breast diseases are well recognized in young females. Benign biphasic proliferation of epithelial and myoepithelial cells has been observed, among which adeno-myoepithelial adenosis is one of the rare morphologies published in the literature with the tendency to recur and poses a risk for low-grade malignant transformation. Here, we report a case of a young female who had a history of recurrent breast lump mimicking phyllodes tumor and eventually diagnosed as adeno-myoepithelial adenosis on histopathological examination.
