A Neglected Case of a Benign Phyllodes Tumor Presenting as a 10.5 kg Breast Mass.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Phyllodes tumor is a type of fibroepithelial neoplasm involving the breast. This tumor is rarely reported in adolescents and the elderly and has a peak incidence in middle-aged women. Histologically, phyllodes tumors are classified as benign, borderline, or malignant. Phyllodes tumor though rare can mimic breast carcinoma and can grow rapidly to massive size. Hence, carcinoma breast should always be kept as a differential diagnosis. Phyllodes tumors can present in different sizes and consistency. Giant forms can lead to postural deformities and back pain. There can be associated skin changes and ulceration due to pressure necrosis. Core needle biopsy is mandatory for the confirmation of diagnosis. It helps in decision-making for further management of the tumor. There is always a risk of recurrence in these tumors. An adequate resection margin is required to avoid any chances of relapse. Most of the phyllodes tumors do not have lymph node metastases and they rarely spread. However early and prompt surgical management is needed to avoid any possibility of malignant transformation. Here we report a neglected case of phyllodes tumor in a 68-year-old tribal woman with a huge left breast mass for 12 years.
