Rare Case of Phyllodes Tumor of Breast with Cardiac and Pancreatic Metastases: Findings on ¹⁸F-FDG PET/CT

Abstract

Phyllodes tumor (PT) represents a rare type of breast tumor arising from the stromal component rather than the epithelium. Metastatic spread occurs hematogenously, with lung, bone, brain, and liver being the most common sites. We present the ¹⁸F-FDG PET/CT scan of one such case of phyllodes tumor showing cardiac and pancreatic metastases, which are an extremely rare occurrence.
