Malignant phyllodes are infrequent, and the proportion undergoing heterologous differentiation is very rare. Extensive sampling and astute examination are of utmost importance so as not to miss this lesion. The prognosis of these tumors is worse compared to cases where no heterologous transformation is seen.
