Malignant Phyllodes Tumor of the Chest Wall

Imaging findings

CT chest shows a massive, lobulated chest wall tumor. The mass is highly vascular with rapid, avid peripheral enhancement and massive internal areas of central necrosis.

Key takeaways

Phyllodes tumors are rare fibroepithelial breast neoplasms that can occasionally arise from ectopic breast tissue in the chest wall or axilla. Malignant phyllodes tumors can grow extremely rapidly, exhibit marked hypervascularity, and reach a massive size, requiring wide local excision with negative margins.
