Abstract
Due to the rarity of phyllodes breast tumors (particularly malignant tumors), a limited number of described cases and a lack of randomized studies, we currently do not have absolute guidelines for treating these types of tumors. The following article presents the case of a patient with a malignant phyllodes breast tumor, with numerous local recurrences after primary mastectomy and the effects of treatment. The course of the patient’s disease emphasizes the purposefulness and effectiveness of aggressive surgical treatment. In the article, the authors show that leaving even small abnormalities within the scar just to observation is not good practice; surgeons should try to remove all, even unclear, abnormalities.
