Malignant cystosarcoma phylloides is a rare breast cancer which frequently recurs locally before metastasizing. Local recurrence of cystosarcoma phylloides is unlike adenocarcinoma of the breast since it does not necessarily indicate systemic metastases; and, therefore, aggressive surgery can cure a number of patients with locally recurrent tumor. The present report is an extreme example of a patient with locally recurrent malignant cystosarcoma phylloides, and it illustrates the value of radical surgery in controlling this disease which had previously recurred 21 times. Fifteen months following sternal resection, the patient enjoys her longest tumor-free interval in 16 years.
恶性叶状囊肉瘤是一种罕见的乳腺癌，常在发生转移前局部频繁复发。叶状囊肉瘤的局部复发与乳腺腺癌不同，因为它不一定意味着发生全身转移；因此，积极的手术可以治愈许多局部复发肿瘤的患者。本报告是一名局部复发性恶性叶状囊肉瘤患者的极端病例，它说明了根治性手术在控制这种先前已复发21次的疾病中的价值。胸骨切除术后15个月，该患者迎来了16年来最长的无瘤间期。
