abstract = {Background: Asymptomatic cases of phyllodes tumor (PT) are extremely rare. The objective of the study was to describe the radiological features and to identify clinical differences between asymptomatic and symptomatic patients with PT in a Mexican population.
Methods: A retrospective study was conducted including only surgically treated patients. Asymptomatic and symptomatic cases were compared. Descriptive statistical techniques were used. Radiological features were reported in asymptomatic cases.
Results: Over 10 years, 305 women with PT were included (307 tumors). The 25 (8.1%) asymptomatic patients were 6 years older than symptomatic patients (47.6 vs. 41.2 years; P=0.005), with more pregnancies (3 vs. 2; P=0.013), more breastfeeding (80% vs. 61%; P=0.042), with smaller tumor size in radiological, and pathology studies (P},
