[A rare clinical manifestation of a combination tumor of cystosarcoma phylloides malignum and an intraductal cancer].

A combination of cystosarcoma phylloides and ductal carcinoma in the breast of a 47-year old woman is reported. Only few cases of this simultaneous tumour formation is described in the literature. Therapy, prognosis and follow-up are discussed. Current standard therapy is ablatio mammae, modified according to Patey, with axillary lymphnode dissection. Decision in respect of chemotherapy depends on the results of staging. Follow-up control of the patients for early detection and therapy of metastasis is recommended. The reported case underlines, that histological examination of every breast node is indicated, even if there is no sign of malignancy.
