Phyllodes are uncommon fibroepithelial breast tumours. Here, we present the case of a 42-year-old woman who presented to our breast centre with a palpable breast mass, which was initially suspected and treated as fibroadenoma but was finally revealed to be a phyllodes tumour. Histopathological examination identified ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) within the entire volume of the fibroepithelial tumour. The literature on these transformations is still limited, and the treatment is not standardised.

Abstract
Phyllodes are uncommon fibroepithelial breast tumours. Here, we present the case of a 42-year-old woman who presented to our breast centre with a palpable breast mass, which was initially suspected and treated as fibroadenoma but was finally revealed to be a phyllodes tumour. Histopathological examination identified ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) within the entire volume of the fibroepithelial tumour. The literature on these transformations is still limited, and the treatment is not standardised.
