What is the core Biopsy? If malignant phylloides, was CT scan thorax done? Surgery with 1 cm margin all around which usually entails a mastectomy with a large skin excision. Nodal clearance is not needed unless documented positive nodes. Reconstruction with LD or DIEP FLAP. Decision regarding adjuvant radiation after the final report.
