Аннотация
BACKGROUND: Phyllodes breast tumors, particularly malignant ones, are rare in adolescents. Tumor behavior does not correlate with histopathology. This case of an adolescent with a malignant phyllodes tumor, followed by the occurrence of a borderline ovarian tumor, also uncommon in adolescence, may shed light on our understanding of phyllodes and uncommon gynecologic malignancies in the young.
CASE: A-14 year-old Caucasian female underwent wide local excision of a 4-cm malignant phyllodes breast tumor. At 17 years of age she had excision of a serous borderline tumor of the ovary.
COMMENTS: The occurrence of two rare neoplasms in an adolescent female raises questions about a common underlying etiology, such as a genetic mutation. Genetic evaluation of minors is a sensitive and complex issue. Natural history studies regarding phyllodes tumors presenting in adolescence are needed to establish recommendations regarding best practice, including the role of genetic evaluation in this population.
