Phyllodes (also called Phylloides) tumor is an extremely rare type of breast tumor that develops in the connective (i.e., stromal tissue (termed the stroma) of the breast.
Although Phyllodes tumors usually are benign (i.e., non-cancerous), they occasionally can be malignant (i.e., cancerous). In the past, both benign and malignant phyllodes tumors were termed cystosarcoma phyllodes.
Surgical treatments for benign and malignant phyllodes tumors are available.
