(a) Computer tomography (CT) arterial phase in the sagittal plane and (b) volume rendering technique with the fusion of venous phase. Partially seen magistral arteries and truncus costocervicalis feeding the tumor originating from the subclavian artery. The CT scan was performed during the last recurrence of the tumor.

In addition, the tumor infiltrated the thorax at the sternal edge of the third and fourth ribs (Figures 1-3).
Magnetic resonance image (MRI T2 WI trufi tra) shows the overgrowth of the giant tumor into the thoracic wall at the level of the sternal ending of the third and fourth ribs with the thorax deformity. The MRI scan corresponds with the last recurrence of the tumor.

In addition, the tumor infiltrated the thorax at the sternal edge of the third and fourth ribs (Figures 1-3).
Magnetic resonance image (MRI T2 WI tse cor, STIR cor) shows the brachial plexus and its branches with a pathological signal. The MRI scan corresponds with the last recurrence of the tumor.

We performed a total extirpation of the tumor with subsequent plastic reconstruction using a cutaneous flap from the region of the latissimus dorsi muscle (Figure 4).
Microscopic character of phylloides tumor (PT) with increased cellularity around the glandular structures with signs of cellular atypia and increased mitotic activity (arrow-marked mitotic figures) (hematoxylin and eosin; magnification 100x).

A total of three separate tumor masses (20 x 15 x 15 cm, 19 x 11 x 10 cm, and 19 x 12 x 10 cm) were resected, and significant sarcomatous overgrowth and mitotic activity exceeding 50 mf/10 hpf were histomorphologically revealed (Figures 5 and 6).
Histological image of malignant PT with accentuated mitotic activity. The arrows indicate the mitotic figures (hematoxylin and eosin; magnification 100x).
