Background: A fibroepithelial stromal polyp is an uncommon benign pathology of the female genital tract. Rarely, these benign tumors present as a giant lesion and are clinically difficulty to distinguish from other pathologies.
Case: A 19-year-old female presented with a vulval fibroepithelial stromal polyp measuring ∼8 × 8 × 3 cm that extended from the right labia majora. Present for 2 years, the lesion caused mild discomfort and aesthetic dissatisfaction due to its size but otherwise had no associated symptoms. It was diagnosed using a combination of imaging techniques including ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging and histological analysis. It was removed surgically and has had no recurrence.
Summary And Conclusion: The consideration of both benign and malignant pathologies is paramount when differentiating vulval masses. Thorough clinical reasoning and appropriate use of imaging modalities and histological analysis are essential.

Objective: Phyllodes tumor (PT) is a variant of fibroepithelial proliferations of the breast, histologically demonstrating a leaf-like pattern. The WHO has categorized PTs as benign, borderline, or malignant based on their histological characteristics. The objective of this paper is to assess the clinicopathological factors with malignancy in PT of the breast.

Background: Somatostatin receptors (SSTRs) are expressed in most neuroendocrine neoplasms, particularly in gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumours, and have been utilised as diagnostic markers and therapeutic targets. The radioiodinated somatostatin analogue 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-1,4,7,10-tetraacetic acid- Tyr3-octreotate (DOTATATE) has been employed for SSTR targeting for either diagnostic or therapeutic purposes depending on the labelling with Gallium or Lutetium, respectively. SSTR expression is reported in a subset of breast adenocarcinoma and breast neuroendocrine carcinomas; however, minimal knowledge exists regarding their expression in fibroepithelial (biphasic) breast lesions such as fibroadenoma and phyllodes tumours.

Introduction: Phyllodes tumors (PTs) of the breast are rare fibroepithelial neoplasms, accounting for less than 1% of all breast tumors. The WHO classifies PTs into benign, borderline, or malignant categories based on histological features. While benign PTs generally have a favorable prognosis, they carry a risk of transformation into malignant variants, particularly in cases of recurrence.

Phyllodes tumor is a rare and particular type of breast tumor with features of stromal hyperplasia and malignant potential. The present case is an unusual presentation of a phyllodes tumor with pseudoangiomatous stromal hyperplasia (PASH) which forms an essential part of benign breast disease but is not frequently described in association with phyllodes tumor. A 36-year-old female patient was referred to the hospital with a large breast mass considered to be a benign growth.

Article Synopsis
- Fibroepithelial lesions (FELs) of the breast vary widely, posing diagnostic challenges due to their overlapping characteristics and subjective assessment methods.
- A study involving digital nuclear morphometric analysis on 241 phyllodes tumors (PTs) and 59 fibroadenomas (FAs) found significant differences in nuclear features that help in distinguishing between these lesions and predicting their behavior.
- Results indicated high specificity and sensitivity of the analysis for differentiating FAs from benign PTs and for grading PTs, suggesting that digital morphometric methods could enhance the objectivity and accuracy of FEL diagnosis and prognosis.
