Experience with 14 cases of cystosarcoma phyllodes encountered at the 2nd Department of Propedeutic Surgery, Athens, University, between October, 1928 and December, 1978 is reported. Local excision including a wide cuff of uninvolved breast tissue is indicated for histologically proven benign and small tumors. For bulky or malignant tumors, a simple mastectomy is indicated. none of these neoplasms had metastasized to the axillary lymph nodes and, for this reason, and axillary node dissection was contraindicated.
