2018, Surgical Pathology ClinicsCitation Excerpt :Due to morphologic heterogeneity in many PTs, sampling adequacy directly influences diagnostic certainty. A paucity of epithelial elements may be an indication of PT stromal overgrowth57; however, in such cases, the differential diagnostic list should incorporate other spindle cell proliferations of the breast, including reactive/inflammatory conditions and neoplasms, such as nodular fasciitis, myofibroblastoma, fibromatosis, metaplastic carcinoma, and primary or metastatic sarcoma.51 Due to the intratumoral heterogeneity inherent in PTs, areas with high-grade histology may exist only as minor foci within an ostensibly lower-grade tumor.

2015, Clinical RadiologyCitation Excerpt :Another problem with CBs is classifying phyllodes tumours as benign, borderline, or malignant. Stromal cellularity, stromal overgrowth, nuclear pleomorphism, mitotic rate, and infiltrating margins are all used to classify the tumours and these features are best seen in an excision biopsy.3–6 Attempts have been made to diagnose and classify phyllodes tumours using cytology and needle biopsy alone, but have been unsuccessful; although immunohistochemistry may improve the diagnostic accuracy in the future.4–7
