Resumen

The phyllodes tumor represents 1% of the primary tumors of the breast, it is a rare fibroepithelial neoplasia that has surgery as a cornerstone in the treatment: resection with wide margins (greater than or equal to 1 cm) and mastectomy are the recommended treatments; considering the impact of the surgical edges on local recurrence, the large resection volume, growth speed and the difficulty of predicting tumor behavior with the pre-operative percutaneous biopsy study; Conservation surgery is challenging in numerous instances. We present the case of a patient treated with extreme oncoplastic surgery, as well as a review of the literature on this entity.
