Although progression to epithelial malignancy has been described, the behaviour of most fibroadenomas is benign. Phyllodes tumours, on the other hand, can display locally destructive growth and can even metastasize. A relationship between the two tumours has been suggested in the literature. This study investigated the clonality of both the stroma and the epithelium of these fibroepithelial tumours and attempted to construct a model in which fibroadenoma can progress in both an epithelial and a stromal direction. Fibroadenomas (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>=25) and phyllodes tumours (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>=12) were selected for analysis. Tissue was microdissected and analysed for clonality using a polymerase chain reaction (PCR)\u2010based assay targeted at an X\u2010linked polymorphic marker, the human androgen receptor gene (HUMARA). Nineteen fibroadenomas and nine phyllodes tumours could be analysed. Normal\u2010appearing epithelium, hyperplastic epithelium, and stroma removed from fibroadenomas were polyclonal. As expected, carcinoma <jats:italic>in situ<\/jats:italic> (CIS) removed from four fibroadenomas was monoclonal. Three areas of apparent stromal expansion within fibroadenoma were monoclonal, suggesting stromal progression. Mostly, the stroma of phyllodes tumours was monoclonal and the epithelium polyclonal. In two cases, however, the epithelium seemed to be monoclonal, whereas in three other cases the stromal component was polyclonal. These findings indicate that fibroadenoma can progress in an epithelial direction to CIS and in a stromal direction to phyllodes tumour.
