AbstractThe phyllodes tumour is a rare fibroepithelial lesion which represents 0.3 - 1% of all breast neoplasms. The peak incidence of this tumour is between 35 and 55 years of age. Most phyllodes tumours are benign. In around 10-20% of all phyllodes tumours a malignant potential is identified. Lung is the most common site of metastasis. We report the case of a 55 year old lady presenting with bone metastasis in parotid region which was diagnosed initially by FNACs as Pleomorphic Adenoma of the Parotid. Continued investigations proved it to be metastasis of a Malignant Phyllodes Tumour. This report will add one more case to the relatively small database of metastatic malignant phyllodes tumour cases and illustrate the continuing importance of clinical examination to reach the correct diagnosis.
