Context.—: This review article derives from the breast pathology lecture at the Eighth Princeton Integrated Pathology Symposium (PIPS VIII).
Objective.—: To provide a literature review and update on fibroepithelial lesions of the breast with molecular findings and findings regarding the pediatric population.
Data Sources.—: The sources include extensive literature review, personal research, and experience.
Conclusions.—: Given significant differences in prognosis and management of fibroepithelial lesions, we aim to provide readers with pertinent definitions, pathomorphology, molecular findings, and management for each diagnosis, with insights on the pediatric population.

The Investigation of Somatostatin Receptors as a Potential Target in Breast Phyllodes Tumours.
Diagnostics (Basel)

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.

A phyllodes tumor (PT) is a biphasic fibroepithelial lesion that is most commonly found in breast tissue, whereas it is uncommon in ureter tissue. Only one case has been documented so far. There are some similarities in histology and clinical characteristics between this type of tumor and PT of the female breast: the lesions can be surgically removed, but some recur locally and invade directly into the breast.
