Abstract
In this article we are presenting a case of a 36 year old female with gradually progressive left breast mass who underwent mastectomy surgical procedure and on histopathological examination a diagnosis of malignant phyllodes tumor with chondromatous differentiation was made. The rarity of the lesion was considered for reporting and on follow-up the patient was free of metastasis. The patient also had enlarged thyroid gland on which Fine Needle Aspiration was performed and a cytological diagnosis of colloid goiter was made.
