From 1981 to 1988 six patients, five females and one male, with breast sarcoma were treated in the Department of Surgery, University Hospital, Bergen. Four of them had phyllodes tumour, one a malignant myoepithelioma and one a liposarcoma. Metastases to axillary lymph nodes or distant metastases were not observed. Sarcomas account for about 1% of malignant breast tumours in our department. The cases demonstrate diagnostic and therapeutical problems in dealing with breast sarcomas.

Phyllodes tumours of the breast are rare fibroepithelial neoplasms classified histologically into benign, borderline, or malignant; each requiring different treatment strategies. The infrequency of presentation can result in diagnostic and management variability. The aim is to provide evidence-based or expert consensus recommendations for multidisciplinary teams managing patients with phyllodes tumours.

Background: Li-Fraumeni syndrome (LFS) is an autosomal dominant tumor predisposition syndrome characterized by a high familial incidence of various malignancies. It results from pathogenic/likely pathogenic heterozygous constitutional variants of the TP53 gene. Due to impaired DNA damage repair, conventional cytotoxic therapies or radiotherapy should be avoided whenever feasible to mitigate the high incidence of treatment-related secondary malignancies in these patients.
