Abstract

Breast cancer is a major health problem for women. This cancer is most often diagnosed and the leading cause of cancer deaths in women worldwide. Breast cancer in young women is associated with late diagnosis, aggressive biological characteristics, and poor prognosis. The objective of the study is to determine the prevalence and characteristics of young age breast cancer in Haji Adam Malik General Hospital Medan in 2013-2017. The study design was observational descriptive design with a cross-sectional approach. The study samples were medical records of young women diagnosed with breast cancer who were treated at Haji Adam Malik General Hospital Medan. The prevalence of breast cancer in young age women in Haji Adam Malik General Hospital Medan in 2013-2017 was 234 patients (15.2%). In this study, the samples that fulfilled the inclusion criteria were 153, with the majority characteristics of patients were 35-39 years old, stage III, histopathological type of invasive carcinoma of no special type, grade II, and clinical subtype of triple-negative. The prevalence of young age breast cancer is lower than old age breast cancer. Young women tend to be diagnosed with breast cancer in advanced stage and intermediate grade with aggressive biological characteristics.

Abstract

Introduction: Phyllodes tumor (PT) is infrequent among breast neoplasms, representing less than 1% of all breast neoplasms, with 10% to 30% of them being malignant. The occurrence rate of malignant phyllodes tumor (MPT) is about 2.1 cases per million people.Case Presentation: We report the case of a 36-year-old female who had a significant mass in her right breast. Macroscopically, the cut surface was grayish-white with cystic areas containing a hemorrhagic mass; the tumor occupied nearly the entire breast with indistinct borders. The tumor measured 26 x 16 x 11 cm. Microscopically, the tumor exhibited a solid structure with ductal proliferation and hypercellular stroma forming a leaf-like appearance. Proliferation of fibrous connective tissue with dysplastic cell morphology and atypical mitoses was found in 10/10 high-power fields (HPFs). Malignant heterologous components included bone matrix with osteoclast-like giant cells and chondroid components. Immunohistochemical Ki-67 staining was positive in more than 20% of the cell nuclei.Conclusion: The tumor is large with unclear infiltration boundaries and contains malignant heterologous components. Immunohistochemical Ki-67 staining was positive in more than 20% of the cell nuclei, confirming this as a case of malignant phyllodes tumor. This case is notable due to its rarity, frequent recurrence, and the challenges in establishing a diagnosis and treatment regimen.
