[edit] Currently

Currently the article says, unsourced, "Most Phyllodes tumors are benign neoplasms, thus the term sarcoma is best avoided." I don't believe this is quite accurate. Yes, the benign ones are obviously not "sarcomas." But the borderline and malignant ones definitely ARE sarcomas, as indicated by their name (cystosarcoma phylloides) and references like the first one on Google. If you read PT message boards (which I realize is original research!) you'll find that many of the doctors of those with PTs are sarcoma specialists.--Injoy 21:41, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

Also, these also appear in men, see details.--Injoy 21:45, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
