The purpose of this educational exhibit is to review the imaging features of 50 independent cases of Phyllodes tumor (PT) with clinical presentation, core biopsy, surgical, and pathologic correlation. Major teaching points include: PT are rare fibroepithelial neoplasms of the breast. Aside from interval growth, PT are often difficult to differentiate from a fibroadenoma using conventional breast imaging techniques and histiologic core needle biopsy. Accurate characterization and diagnosis of PT during breast imaging evaluation is essential for surgical planning purposes given the potential for malignance and recurrence.

Review the demographics and clinical presentation of PT. Illustrate cases of PT with clinical and histopathology correlation. Demonstrate multimodality imaging features of PT, with a focus on the readily available breast imaging techniques including mammography, ultrasound, and MR. Compare/contrast imaging features of PT with potential mimickers. Report outcomes data of core needle biopsy correlation with surgical pathology.
