Abstract: Breast cancers, which develop inside the ducts or lobules of the breast, phyllodes tumors start outside the ducts and lobules. Phyllodes tumours develop in the breast’s connective tissue, called the stroma. In addition to stromal cells, phyllodes tumours can also contain cells from the ducts and lobules. In this case 35 females were identified to have a mass in the breast. All of them underwent mammography and showed the palpable mass as fibroadenomas. But one female of age 48yrhad a breast mass. The size of the mass is 125X112X85mm in the upper quadrant of left breast . A variation of size which is different from 5mm to 12mm normal for the fibroadenomas in other females.
