Borderline phyllodes tumor of breast in a premenarchal girl: A relatively common tumor at an uncommon age

Phyllodes tumors are relatively rare breast lesions that usually occur in the age group of 35 ‒ 55 years. It is a very rare diagnosis in young girls, particularly at prepubertal age. Because of the uncommon nature of this tumor in children, it may be misdiagnosed leading to inappropriate management. We report a case of a 9–year-old girl who was diagnosed as a case of borderline phyllodes tumor left breast. Simple mastectomy without axillary staging was performed. She has recovered well and is on follow up.
