Massively parallel sequencing analysis of synchronous fibroepithelial lesions supports the concept of progression from fibroadenoma to phyllodes tumor
15 Nov 2016
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Phyllodes tumors (PTs) and fibroadenomas (FAs) are fibroepithelial lesions (FELs) of the breast. Although mutations affecting exon 2 of MED12 are highly recurrent in FAs and PTs, TERT promoter hotspot mutations are frequently found in PTs but are vanishingly rare in FAs. Malignant transformation of benign PTs is well-documented, but the progression from FA to PT remains a matter of contention. Here we...
