Malignant phyllodes tumor in a patient with hereditary retinoblastoma: a case report and literature review

Year: 2012

Type: article

Abstract: Patients with hereditary retinoblastoma are at increased risk for second malignancies, most notably sarcomas, particularly after treatment with radiation. Malignant phyllodes tumor is a rare secondary malignancy in these patients. We present a review of the literature and report of a patient with hereditary retinoblastoma who developed two secondary malignancies, including malignant phyllodes tumor. The patient’s phyllodes tumor presented as a palpable breast mass with suspicious findings on mammogram and ultrasound. The mass was shown to be at least a borderline phyllodes tumor via sonographic percutaneous biopsy and confirmed malignant phyllodes tumor on final surgical excision.
