Introduction:

Phyllodes tumors are rare fibroepithelial lesions. The exact etiology of phyllodes tumur and its relationship with fibroadenoma are unclear. Women aged between 35 and 55 years are commonly involved. Treatment can be either wide or local excision or mastectomy to achieve histologically clear margins. This surgical intervention can be avoided through proper homeopathic treatment.

Material and method:

Here is a case of phyllodes tumur treated successfully whith homeopathic remedies. After going through detailed case taking and repertorisation, initially conium and later phytolacca and calcium fluoricum were prescribed, on the basis of symptom totality. Finally, the case was cured both symptomatologically and pathologically as evidenced by investigations.

Discussion:

According to the homeopathic point of view 'all curable sicknesses make themselves known to the intelligent physician in form of signs and symptoms' (aphorism 14). Moreover, we get some texts in the literature of J. C. Burnett regarding the treatment of such cases, illustrating how he successfully cured a large-sized tumor, corresponding approximately to that of a large hen's egg or his big fist. Hence, a successful curative approach can be made by homeopathy in such cases, too.

Conclusion:

Based on our findings, the homeopathic remedies can successfully treat phyllodes tumor.
