RESUMO
PURPOSE: To investigate the optimal surgical margin and prognostic risk factors for borderline and malignant phyllodes tumors (PTs). METHODS: A retrospective analysis was conducted on patients with borderline and malignant PTs at our hospital from 2011 to 2022. Univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazard models were employed to analyze the effects of various variables on local recurrence-free survival (LRFS) and disease-free survival (DFS). RESULTS: This study comprised 150 patients, 85 classified as borderline and 65 as malignant. During a median follow-up of 66 months (range: 3-146 months), 34 cases (22.7%) experienced local recurrence, 9 cases (6.0%) exhibited distant metastasis, and 7 cases (4.7%) resulted in death. Irrespective of the histological subtypes, patients with surgical margins ≥ 1 cm exhibit significantly higher 5-year LRFS and 5-year DFS rates compared to those with margins < 1 cm. Among patients with initial margins < 1 cm, LRFS (P = 0.004) and DFS (P = 0.003) were improved in patients reoperated to achieve margins ≥ 1 cm. Surgical margin < 1 cm (HR = 2.567, 95%CI 1.137-5.793, P = 0.023) and age < 45 years (HR = 2.079, 95%CI 1.033-4.184, P = 0.040) were identified as independent risk factors for LRFS. Additionally, surgical margin < 1 cm (HR = 3.074, 95%CI 1.622-5.826, P = 0.001) and tumor size > 5 cm (HR = 2.719, 95%CI 1.307-5.656, P = 0.007) were determined to be independent risk factors for DFS. CONCLUSIONS: A negative surgical margin of at least 1 cm (with secondary resection if necessary) should be achieved for borderline and malignant PTs. Tumor size > 5 cm and age < 45 years were predictive of recurrence, suggesting multiple therapy modalities may be considered for these high-risk patients.

Introduction Phyllodes tumors (PTs) are uncommon ï¬broepithelial breast tumors that occur in middle-aged women, and they tend to vary in biologic behavior. Surgical management is the standard therapy for the condition, but factors associated with recurrence remain unclear. The aim of this study was to evaluate clinical and surgical characteristics related to PT recurrences. Methods This retrospective cohort study included patients in southern Colombia who were diagnosed with PT and managed at a level I teaching and referral hospital over a nine-year period. Factors associated with recurrence were determined by Cox regression analysis. Results This study included 61 patients; their median age was 46 years [interquartile range (IQR): 39-55 years]. Pathologically, 37 tumors (60.7%) were classified as low-grade. The median tumor size was 7 cm (IQR: 4-11.5 cm). Thirty-nine (63.9%) patients underwent quadrantectomy. Nine patients (14.8%) experienced tumor recurrence, with the median time to recurrence being one year (IQR: 0.5-2 years). Distant metastasis was observed in four patients (6.6%) at a median of nine months (IQR: 0.4-2.5 years). Univariate analyses showed that patients with high-grade tumors [hazard ratio (HR): 2.90, p = 0.148] and those who underwent mastectomy (HR: 2.90, p = 0.460) were at higher risk of recurrence. Conclusion PT recurrence may be associated with biological features, the extent of local excision, tumor size, and negative margins. However, multicenter data are needed to confirm these findings.
RESUMO
Objective: To evaluate the clinical and pathological characteristics of phyllodes tumors, and to identify possible associated risk factors for relapses among patients from the Breast Surgery Department of the Hospital do Servidor Público Estadual of São Paulo (HSPE-SP). Methods: Retrospective, descriptive study of data from 52 patients, between 1976 and 2013. The following data were collected: age, tumor size, histological type, surgical margins, type of surgery performed, relapses and amount of time before relapse. Results: The mean age of the patients was 45.7 years old, the mean size of the tumor was 7.8 cm. A mastectomy was performed on 12 patients, and the others underwent a wide excision. Benign phyllodes tumors were found in 30 patients, and the others were found as follows: 11 with borderline tumors and 11 with malign phyllodes tumors. There was no statistical relevance with regard to the relapses and the characteristics evaluated. Conclusion: The sample studied has similar clinical and pathological characteristics as described in the scientific literature, with the mean age at diagnosis being 45 years old, the mean tumor size, 7.8 cm. The majority found were benign phyllodes tumors and 33% were from relapses. There was no statistical significance between the evaluated variables and the risk for relapse.
Objetivo: Avaliar as características clínicas e patológicas do tumor filoides e identificar fatores relacionados com risco de recidivas em pacientes acompanhadas no ambulatório de Mastologia do Hospital do Servidor Público Estadual de São Paulo (HSPE-SP). Método: Estudo retrospectivo descritivo de dados de 52 pacientes, entre 1976 e 2013, dentre os quais: idade, tamanho do tumor, tipo histológico, margens cirúrgicas, tipo de cirurgia, recidivas e tempo para recidiva. Resultados: A idade média das pacientes foi 45,7 anos. O tamanho médio do tumor foi de 7,8 cm. O tratamento em 12 pacientes foi a mastectomia, e as demais 40 a excisão ampla. O tipo histológico encontrado em 30 pacientes foi tumores benignos, 11 malignos e 11 de variedade borderline. Após o seguimento médio de 53,93 meses, observaram-se 17 recidivas. Não houve relevância estatística entre a recorrência local e as variáveis avaliadas. Conclusões: A amostra avaliada tem características clínicas e patológicas condizentes com a literatura, com média de idade de 45 anos, tamanho do tumor de 7,8 cm, sendo encontrados na maioria tumor filoides benigno e 33% de recidivas. Não houve significância estatística entre características avaliadas e o risco de recidiva.
RESUMO
Adequate management of phyllodes tumors of the breast (PTB) remains a challenge because of the difficulty in correctly establishing preoperative diagnosis. The aim of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of Ki-67, CD10, CD34, p53, CD117, and of the number of mast cells in the differential diagnosis of benign PTB and cellular fibroadenomas (CFs) as well as in the grading of PTB. Fifty-one primary PTB and 14 CFs were examined by immunohistochemistry.When evaluating CD117 expression, higher epithelial expression was present in CF as well as an increased number of mast cells in benign PTB. Stromal expression of Ki-67, CD10, CD34, and p53 were relevant to PTB grading, of which the first 3 showed significance in the distinction of benign and borderline PTB, as well as between benign and malignant PTB. P53 was relevant only for the discrimination between benign and malign PTB. None of the markers showed significance in distinguishing between borderline and malign PTB.
