RESUMEN
A 62-year-old woman was diagnosed with right breast tumor 2 years ago, which she refused to undergo surgery. The patient experienced a rapid enlargement of the mass over the past 1 month, and visited hospital. The patient was diagnosed with a borderline phyllodes tumor by needle biopsy. Her right breast was occupied by an 18 cm mass. We conducted tumor resection and immediate reconstruction with DIEAP flap. The pathological diagnosis was a malignant phyllodes tumor, and the postoperative radiation to the chest wall was performed. During a year and a half follow up, she has no recurrence and highly satisfied with the reconstructed breast. Phyllodes tumors may recur locally regardless of whether they are benign or malignant, and we need strict follow-up.

We experienced a case of multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2A(MEN2A)diagnosed with medullary thyroid carcinoma. The patient was a 50s woman who was referred for a thyroid nodule detected in the right lobe during a carotid ultrasound examination. After undergoing a hemithyroidectomy, it was determined that the tumor was medullary carcinoma. RET gene test was performed, confirming a mutation at codon768, leading to the diagnosis of MEN2A. A completion thyroidectomy was performed to remove the remaining thyroid tissue. Postoperatively, the patient is undergoing systemic surveillance.
