A pre-operative core biopsy diagnosis of "malignant spindle cell neoplasm" separates MP and SC from BLP, BP, and FA. However, MP and SC can have overlapping features on core biopsy. Thus, one must be careful not to overcall SC on core biopsy, as patients diagnosed with SC may receive neoadjuvant therapy. A core biopsy diagnosis of "phyllodes tumor" is specific for PT and can guide treatment planning of a wide local excision.
