Myofibroblastoma is a rare mesenchymal tumour known for its benign nature but complex diagnostic pathway. A woman in her 40s presented with a painless breast mass, initially reported as a fibroadenoma on ultrasound mammography and as a benign to borderline phyllodes tumour on fine needle aspiration cytology. Contrast-enhanced CT was reported as carcinoma of the breast with Breast Imaging and Reporting Data System (BIRADS)-6.

B3 breast lesions, classified as lesions of uncertain malignant potential, present a significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenge due to their heterogeneous nature and variable risk of progression to malignancy. These lesions, which include atypical ductal hyperplasia (ADH), papillary lesions (PLs), flat epithelial atypia (FEA), radial scars (RSs), lobular neoplasia (LN), and phyllodes tumors (PTs), occupy a "grey zone" between benign and malignant pathologies, making their management complex and often controversial. This article explores the diagnostic difficulties associated with B3 lesions, focusing on the limitations of current imaging techniques, including mammography, ultrasound, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), as well as the challenges in histopathological interpretation.

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.

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: Huai-he Hospital of Henan University, Kaifeng, China. Electronic address:
Objective: To explore the application value of MRI-based imaging histology and deep learning model in the identification and classification of breast phyllodes tumors.
Methods: Seventy-seven patients diagnosed as breast phyllodes tumors and fibroadenomas by pathological examination were retrospectively analyzed, and traditional radiomics features, subregion radiomics features, and deep learning features were extracted from MRI images, respectively. The features were screened and modeled using variance selection method, statistical test, random forest importance ranking method, Spearman correlation analysis, least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO).
