  ABSTRACT: Phyllodes tumor is a rare fibroepithelial neoplasm belonging to the spectrum of breast tumors. It primarily occurs in adult women and is exceptionally rare in adolescents. We report 24 cases, with patient ages ranging from 11 to 52 years. Diagnosis was established following core needle breast biopsy and confirmed by histological examination. Treatment consisted primarily of wide local excision (tumorectomy) with clear surgical margins and no adjuvant therapy. Achieving adequate surgical margins appears to confer a benefit in terms of both local recurrence-free survival and overall survival, particularly in cases of malignant phyllodes tumors.
