Cystosarcoma phyloides is a breast cancer with deterrent features because of its size and fast growth. Borderline ovarian tumors comprise 10% to 15% of all epithelial tumors of the ovary. Regardless of the tumor type (serous, mucinous, clear cell, Brenner, mixed) they can be benign, borderline or malignant. There is a close physiological relation between the breasts and genital tract. By routine examination of girls in secondary schools, suspected ultrasonography findings were found in two out of 180 examinees.
