The role of tumor-free resection in the treatment of benign phyllodes tumors (PTs) is still unknown. Ultrasound-guided vacuum-assisted biopsy (UGVAB) has been used for complete removal of benign breast lesions. This retrospective study aimed to compare the risk of relapse between patients with benign PT who undergo UGVAB and those who receive surgical excision (SE).

Benign PT patients with a pathology diagnosis who had received treatment between 2005 and 2013 at the authors’ hospital were identified. The patients who received UGVAB did not receive any SE. In the SE group, wide local excision or mastectomy was performed when appropriate. The Kaplan–Meier curve and Cox proportional hazards regression were used to analyze and compare the relapse-free survival (RFS) between the patients in the two groups …
