While paediatric fibroepithelial lesions can have cellular stroma potentially raising concern for phyllodes tumour, their lack of TERT promoter and cancer driver mutations is reassuring. The absence of mutations in a significant proportion of tumours, especially the giant fibroadenomas, warrants investigation of pathogenetic mechanisms beyond those involving the 50 genes.
