different form of malignacy in 22 months
by Chrisnana, Sep 09, 2008 08:55PM
In Nov. 2006 had a lumpectomy for a phyllode tumor-malignant. No rad of chemo.
Now I have a lump in same breast spindle cell carcinoma-low grade fibrmatosis-like.
Complete excision is highly recommended.
Should I have a complete mastectomy? Radiation or chemo this time?
I don't thinkl I can just wait for another lump to show up 6 months after mamo.
Thank you.

Phylloides tumors are composed of spindle looking like cells, and even with a carcinoma diagnosis, this new lesion is still possibly a phylloides tumor recurrence. However, the carcinoma diagnosis makes it also probable that this can be a variant of the classic breast ductal cancers which would have a different behavior than that of phylloides.
I would agree that excision should be considered, and the entire mass examined thoroughly by the pathologist. If this cancer comes from the glandular and ductal breast tissues, then additional treatment after surgery may be warranted (like chemotherapy or radiation).
Regards.
