Abstract

The primary sarcoma of breast is a rare malignant tumour, which develops from the mesenchymal tissue of the mammary gland. It represents less than 1 per cent of all malignant diseases of the breast. The incidence is about 17 new cases per 1 000 000 women. The aetiology of that disease is unknown. The main method of treatment is the surgical excision with which includes the "safety-margin" of healthy-looking tissues. We present a 57-year-old woman with probably familial, primary, malignant malignant phyllodes sarcoma. Her niece was diagnosed with periductal stromal sarcoma of the left breast five years ago. This evoked in us the idea that there is probably a familial connection between the two diseases. After radical surgery the patient was undergone to radiotherapy and she is without any signs of recurrence till now.
