Abstract:
: Phyllodes tumor is a rare breast tumor, accounting for less than 1% of all primary tumors. The aim of this study is to investigate, through the analysis of our results and a literature review, the usefulness of different imaging modalities in the positive diagnosis and follow-up of phyllodes tumors. This is a retrospective study conducted at the Mother and Child Radiology Department at Hassan II Hospital in Fes, spanning over a period of 5 years. Mammographic exploration, in the majority of cases, revealed a roughly oval, well-defined opacity with often regular contours. Breast ultrasound allowed the visualization of a tissue mass, establishment of the BI-RADS ACR classification, and guidance for microbiopsies. Phyllodes tumors primarily affect young women. Imaging remains essential for positive diagnosis and monitoring. Confirming the diagnosis necessitates histological evidence. The most appropriate management of this tumor remains adequate surgical resection with clear margins, while emphasizing the importance of surveillance as the risk of recurrence is always present.
