Phyllodes tumors (PTs) are a rare fibroepithelial tumor of the breast. Histopathological confirmation of stromal and epithelial component is required for making the diagnosis of PT, and stromal component carries an increased risk of sarcomatous transformation. We present imaging findings of a histologically proven case of malignant PT with heterologous liposarcomatous transformation of the breast.

Malignant phyllodes tumor is a rare breast tumor, with distant metastases and heterologous differentiation in a few cases. We report a case of malignant phyllodes tumor with liposarcomatous differentiation in the primary tumor and osteosarcomatous differentiation in the lung metastatic tumor. A middle-aged female presented with a well-defined mass in the upper lobe of the right lung measuring 5.

Malignant phyllodes tumor (MPT) with heterologous sarcomatous differentiation is extremely rare. We reviewed eleven cases of MPT with heterologous sarcomatous differentiation at our institute between 2009 and 2020. Demographic and clinical data were collected from patient records in hospital information system and population-based cancer registry.

Article Synopsis
- NTRK-rearranged mesenchymal tumors mainly affect soft tissues in kids but can rarely occur in adults too.
- In a study of 7 adult patients (ages 18-53), researchers looked at tumors in different body parts like the lung, heart, and prostate that had special genetic changes.
- These tumors had different appearances, some were more serious than others, and while they mostly tested positive for certain proteins, it's important to confirm their diagnosis with more detailed genetic tests.

Phyllodes tumor (PT) accounts for less than 1% of all primary tumors of the breast and 2% to 3% of all fibroepithelial lesions. We report a case of heterologous liposarcomatous elements in a malignant PT of the breast on Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) and later confirmed by histopathological examination. A 58-years-old woman presented with a huge breast mass for which FNAC was done.
