In our series both the benign
phyllodes and the giant fibroadenoma showed an adolescent age distribution range of 12-20 years.
Preoperative open biopsy was taken which revealed benign
phyllodes tumor on histopathology.

Cystosarcoma
phyllodes of the breast may occur in women of any age group from puberty to menopause.[3] Its early clinical manifestations were painless, with presentation of solitary masses mostly in the left breast and commonly in the upper outer quadrant of the breast.
(32) Key histologic features that aid in the differential diagnosis are the characteristic leaflike fronds with stromal expansion and benign epithelial lining of
phyllodes tumor (Figure 2, A).

(5) The histogenesis of primary osteosarcoma of the breast has not been fully elucidated, though an origin from totipotent mesenchymal cells of the breast stroma or a transformation from a pre-existing fibroadenoma or
phyllodes tumor have been suggested.
These rare breast lesions are fibromatosis, idiopathic granulomatous mastitis, tubular adenoma, diabetic mastopathy, invasive micropapillary carcinoma, osteoclastic giant cell breast carcinoma, malignant
phyllodes tumor, carcinoma arising in fibroadenoma, metastasis, and metaplastic carcinoma.
The carcinogenetic pathway of primary osteosarcoma is poorly understood, but the leading hypotheses are that they either arise from totipotent mesenchymal cells in the breast stroma or from transformation of preexisting
phyllodes tumors or fibroadenomas [3, 4].
The differential diagnosis of JHB includes giant fibroadenomas,
phyllodes tumour, and malignant tumour such as lymphoma and sarcomas.
