Abstract

This is a case report of 45-year-old woman with recurrent phyllodes tumour. Although these tumours are not very rare and one finds them occasionally in day-to-day practice, we report here a case of recurrent phyllodes tumour that was treated by a simple mastectomy 1 year back, and it recurred very fast and attained enormous dimensions without any local ulceration.
