Phyllodes tumours are rare neoplasm of female breast especially among adolescent women. We present\na case of 17 year old female patient present with large benign phyllodes tumour. The patient was treated\nwith one stage excision with reduction mammoplasty. Symmetry of the breast contour and nipple areola complex position could\nbe restored. Standard plastic surgery techniques like reduction mammoplasty might be applied in treating large benign tumours\nnot compromising the aesthetic aspect of the breast.
