Breast - Phyllodes Tumors
from Surgery Shelf Prep!
In this high-yield episode, Chris and Mars break down Phyllodes Tumors of the Breast—a rare but testable topic you must know for the surgery clerkship and shelf exam. Learn how to distinguish phyllodes tumors from fibroadenomas, why wide excision is key to preventing recurrence, and the unique “leaf-like pattern” that shows up on pathology. Plus, they’ll cover how these tumors spread hematogenously (not lymphatically!) and when to skip axillary dissection. Perfect for med students prepping for their surgery rotation and exams.
