Osseous differentiation within a phyllodes tumor is extremely rare. Cytological and histological findings of a case of malignant phyllodes tumor with osseous differentiation are presented. A 45-year-old female had a malignant phyllodes tumor with osseous stroma diagnosed by fine needle aspiration cytology. The cytological findings were representative of the histological features. The diagnosis of these tumors preoperatively is important in planning the most appropriate treatment. It is also important to follow up these patients postoperatively for long periods for recurrence and metastasis.
叶状肿瘤内出现骨分化极为罕见。本文报告一例伴有骨分化的恶性叶状肿瘤的细胞学和组织学表现。一名45岁女性经细针穿刺细胞学检查诊断为伴有骨基质的恶性叶状肿瘤。细胞学表现具有组织学特征代表性。术前对这些肿瘤进行诊断对于制定最合适的治疗方案很重要。对这些患者进行长期术后随访以观察复发和转移情况也很重要。
