Different types of fibroepithelial tumours may grow inside the breast of a woman but the most deadly is the growth of phyloddes tumors. That is why if any body is found suffering from breast cancer proper diagnosis is very much essential to find out which type of tumor is growing inside the breast. However it must be mentioned here that the rate of occurrence of phyllodes tumors (FT) is comparatively low than the rate of occurrence of fibroadenoma tumors. It bis very difficult to differentiate fibroadenoma and phyllodes tumours clinically or pathologically and thus diagnosis of these kind of tumors include several steps like clinical examination, ultrasound and mammography of the breast and often it ends up with the biopsy of the fibroepithelial tumours in the breast. After diagnosis of the type of tumor which is growing inside the breast the doctor plans the course of medication and treatment.

Generally it effects teenagers because of their tendency to take contraception pills.

Speaking about fibroepithelial tumours one must mention about the features of both fibroadenoma tumors and phyllodes tumors. Fybroadenoma tumors generally move move in between adjacent nbody parts like skin, muscles and lymph nodes and in most cases is found adjacent to the arola. Occurrence of fybroadenoma tumors directly behind the nipple is observed in very rare cases. Fibroadenoma tumors are found more in left breast than right breasts because the flow of blood and movements of the left shoulder and arms is less than right shoulder and arm as most of the people in this world are right handed. On the other hand, phyllodes tumors, which are also known in other names like cystosarcoma phyllodes, phylloides tumors and cystosarcoma phyllodes are large tumors and grow very fast. Phyllodes tumors form from periductal stroma of the breast.
