Abstract

Introduction: Phyllodes tumors are rare fibroepithelial neoplasms of the breast, classified as benign, borderline, or malignant based on histological features. Osseous metaplasia, characterized by the presence of bone formation within the tumor, is an uncommon finding. This case report highlights the rarity of osseous metaplasia in a benign phyllodes tumor.
Case Presentation: A 23-year-old female presented with a gradually enlarging lump in the left breast. Mammography and cytological diagnosis were suggestive of giant fibroadenoma. Surgical excision was done and a histopathological diagnosis of benign phyllodes tumor with osseous metaplasia was made.
Conclusion: The occurrence of osseous metaplasia in a benign phyllodes tumor is exceptionally rare. Differentiating this phenomenon is essential for accurate diagnosis and appropriate management. Further research is needed to understand the underlying mechanisms and clinical implications of osseous metaplasia in phyllodes tumors.
