ABSTRACT

Phyllodes tumors, fibroepithelial tumors of the mammary gland, represent less than 1% of all breast tumors, they are originated in the specialized mammary stroma and it is classified within the tumors with epithelial and stromal components. It has a mesenchymal component, which forms deciduous structures bordered by a double layer of epithelium projecting into a cystic cavity. They are classified into three categories: benign, low malignant or borderline and malignant. Heterologous stromal elements are rarely present. This study presents the cases of two adolescents with malignant phyllodes tumors.
