@ajvictorymd: Phyllodes tumors start in the stroma, the connective tissue of the breast and they make up less than 1% of all breast tumors. Most are not cancer, called benign. But about 25% of these tumors are cancerous (or malignant). Some are borderline, a mix of benign and cancerous. Phyllodes means “leaflike.” That’s because as they grow, the tumors have the shape of a leaf. Fibroadenomas are the most common type of benign breast lumps. They also appear in breast connective tissue. They can be hard to tell apart from phyllodes tumors. Fibroadenomas are harmless, but they can occasionally change into another kind of tumor. #women #womenshealth
Waiting for my MRI to see how big my borderline Phyllodes tumor is. Other screening showed 5cm. So worried after it’s removed it will be malignant.

When they come back, they tend to come back with a higher mitosis rate. When they spread, they are deadly! My fibro morphed into a huge Phyllodes tumour.

Mine is benign, should I get it removed?

I was 19 when I had mine removed & then further margins. It looked identical to a fibroadenoma but my surgeon was concerned with how rapid it grew. Super grateful.

Hi. I’ve worked as on oncology nurse for 13 years & never heard of phyllodes. I’m currently awaiting an excision consult for 2cm nodule. Biopsy said differential includes cellular fibroadenoma…..

My result on paper is “likely fibroadenoma. Ddx:phyllodes” does that mean it can be phyllodes?? My doctor said its fibroadenoma but im kinda scared and waiting for 6 months is too long 😞

I had an excision of BLPT 7.1cm in Dec 2023. Another surgery to get clear lines 3 weeks later. Mam & u/s done June 2024 was clear. Found a new lump last week. Mam & u/s show 4 new tumors.

Myxoid fibroepithelial lesion with stromal atypia this is what my biopsy came back as. What are the chances it’s a phlloydes tumor in your opinion

Can they be painful? I’m getting a biopsy next week but it’s been excruciating since my mammogram

but when it comes back after surgery does it mean it was cancerous? or benign ones can come back too?

Currently in this process! Even after biopsy they couldn’t tell one or the other, waiting for excision

So basically if you find anything, you should get a biopsy. Better safe than sorry?

I have a history of fibroadenomas and one previously biopsied fibro grew and when rebiopsied was suspected phyllodes (surgical excision confirmed).

What size are adenomas a serious concern if not pain is felt but the lump is felt and moves around?

my biopsy came back fragments of fibroadenoma but breast surgeon is ruling out phyllodes since it grew from 2 cm to 5 cm in 5 months…
