case_images: Low power photomicrograph of the phyllodes tumor: Histologically, the neoplasm was biphasic, with proliferating stroma, compressed glands, and a well developed leaf-like architecture (H&E, original magnification 40x).

case_images: The features were consistent with a benign phyllodes tumor (figures 1 &2).
case_images: High power photomicrograph of the phyllodes tumor: The stroma lacked cellular atypia and mitoses, consistent with a benign phyllodes tumor (H&E, original magnification 400x).

case_images: The features were consistent with a benign phyllodes tumor (figures 1 &2).
case_images: Photomicrograph of the carcinomatous component: The epithelial component showed DCIS and invasive mammary carcinoma (H&E, original magnification 100x).

case_images: More importantly, the epithelial component of the phyllodes tumor showed extensive ductal carcinoma in-situ, with multiple foci of invasive mammary carcinoma (figure 3).
case_images: Photomicrograph of the DCIS patterns: The DCIS showed cribriform and micropapillary architecture, with necrosis (H&E, original magnification 100x).

case_images: The DCIS was of high nuclear grade, cribriform and micropapillary architecture, with (comedo-type) necrosis (figure 4).
