Abstract
Phylloides tumor is rare stromal tumor of breast. It is common in median age group. It is known for its presentation as unilateral huge mass. However, the diagnosis of phylloides tumor can be neither made or nor ruled out by the size alone. Bilateral phylloides tumors are distinctly uncommon. Most of them are malignant and metachronous. We present a rare case of bilateral multicentric benign metachronous phylloides tumor of breast in a young female of 20 years of age.
Key words: Benign, bilateral, metachronous, multicentric, phylloides tumor
