A unusually large tumor of the left breast diagnosed as a cystosarcoma phyllodes with multiple malignant sarcomatous changes of the stroma, consisting of liposarcoma, myxoid fibrosarcoma, anaplastic, and giant cell sarcoma is described. The weight of 6200 g (13.5 lb) seems to be the largest so far presented in the literature reviewed by the authors.
