ABSTRACT: Background
The phyllodes tumour of the breast comprises about 0.5% of all neoplasms of the breast.Case report
we present the case of a female patient (55 years old) suffering from giant phyllodes tumour (>10cm) of the left breast, who underwent Skin Reducing Mastectomy (SRM) and reconstruction with silicone breast implant (Bostwick Technique).Discussion and conclusion
In selected patients with large sized breasts (C-D cup) and poor surface area of skin involved, a valid technique in the treatment of this pathology is the Skin-Reducing Mastectomy and immediate reconstruction with implants (DTI=direct to implant).
