Popis: A 72-year-old woman noted a mass in the left breast about 5 years ago, but she did not consult a medical institution. She was taken in the ambulance and hospitalized to our department due to severe anemia and malnutrition. A computed tomography( CT)scan indicated an 18×12 cm tumor in her left breast. A fiborsarcoma protuberance was suspected based on needle core biopsy results. Simple mastectomy was performed to control hemorrhage and infection. The resected tumor weighed 2.6 kg. The pathological diagnosis was a malignant phyllodes tumor. We report a patient with giant malignant phyllodes tumor associated with severe anemia.
