Abstract
Phyllodes tumors of the breast are relatively rare fibroepithelial tumors that account for less than 1% of primary breast neoplasms. Phyllodes tumors have epithelial and stromal components and they originate from the periductal stroma. They are classified as benign, borderline, or malignant. Carcinomatous differentiation of the epithelial components of phyllodes tumors is rare, and their imaging features have not been accurately described. Herein, we report a rare case of invasive ductal carcinoma originating from a borderline phyllodes tumor in a 21-year-old female with radiologic and pathologic findings. CopyrightsEntities:

Fig. 1Invasive ductal carcinoma originating from a borderline phyllodes tumor in a 21-year-old female.
A. Sonogram shows an oval heterogeneous echoic mass (arrow) with posterior enhancement in the upper outer quadrant of the right breast. An oval hypoechoic mass (arrowheads), histologically confirmed as a fibroadenoma, is observed adjacent to the first mass.
B. Craniocaudal view of the mammogram shows an oval equal-density mass (arrow) in the outer portion of the right breast.
C. Axial contrast-enhanced fat-suppressed subtraction T1-weighted MR image shows an oval heterogeneously enhancing mass (arrow) in the upper outer quadrant of the right breast.
D. Fluorine-18FDG PET/CT shows FDG uptake in the mass (arrow).
E, F. The tumor is composed of spindle cells that form cuffs around multiple dilated ducts. In the left region, well-formed glands are seen, lined by a single layer of epithelial cells (arrows in E) (hematoxylin & eosin stain, × 60). Immunohistochemistry (× 60) shows smooth muscle myosin-heavy chain-positive myoepithelial cells in the right phyllodes tumor region (arrows in F), but not in the left invasive carcinoma region.
