phyllodes tumors

I am 20 years old and recently had a breast biopsy where they removed a lump that turned out to be a phyllodes tumor.  My surgeon informed me that it fell in the classification of being "borderline".  I'm confused as to what borderline is.  I've seen some web sited say it is grouped with the benign tumors, and then some say it is grouped with the malignant tumors. So which is it ?  I am very confused.
