Abstract
This paper reports on a woman with a rapidly growing recurrent cystosarcoma phyllodes malignum after two major attempts of surgery. In this situation, neoadjuvant hyperfractionated radiotherapy, superficial hyperthermia and ifosfamide were administered. Toxicity was mild. Resection of the tumour bed revealed a pathologically complete response with an actual disease free follow-up of 48 months.Keywords
