Treatment of phyllodes tumor
Local therapy for a phyllodes tumor will include surgery (wide excision or mastectomy) to remove the tumor and extra tissue around it. Sometimes, radiation is given as well. Systemic therapy (chemotherapy) may be used if a malignant phyllodes tumor has spread outside of the breast, though this not common.

Ear tumors may be benign (noncancerous) or malignant (cancerous). Types of noncancerous ear tumors include keloids, sebaceous cysts, osteomas and exostoses (bone growths). Noncancerous ear tumors usually require surgical removal.
Cancers that can affect your ears include melanoma, basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma. Treatment for these conditions depends on several factors, including the type and stage of cancer, and whether or not it has spread to other parts of your body.
