Patient underwent fibroadenoma excision 2 years back on same side following which she developed this lump. She then had several investigations done suggestive of phyllodes tumor and presented to hospital with same complain. She was operated for left side breast simple mastectomy and specimen was sent for histopathological examination which was suggestive of phyllodes tumor.
