Abstract

Background: Phyllodes tumors (PTs) are rare biphasic fibroepithelial neoplasms accounting for < 1% of all breast lesions[1]. Aim: To reduce the recurrence rate of phyllodes tumor of breast. Materials and Methods: A retrospective study which reviewed the recurrent phyllodes tumors for last 10 yrs in our hospital. Results: We found that out of 14 patients, all underwent radical surgery. 9 patients (64%) received post operative radiotherapy after radical surgery. After a follow up period of 1- 2 yrs. only 1 patient (11%) develops local recurrence, among the post radiotherapy group. In the non irradiated group of 5(36%), 3 patients (60%) develop local recurrence. Conclusion: The study reflects that radiotherapy following radical surgery reduce the recurrence rate.
