  ABSTRACT: Introduction Phyllodes sarcomas are rare malignant tumors of childhood and adolescence. Objective: To analyze the epidemiological, diagnostic and therapeutic management of this pathology, highlighting its challenges in an under-medicalized country. Case presentation: We report the case of a 12-year-old girl who presented with phyllodes sarcoma of the left breast. Medical nomadism and traditional treatment contributed to late management. In her case, we performed a simple mastectomy with passage into healthy zones, confirmed after histological analysis. Follow-up was straightforward until the last news, two years after our care. Conclusion: Phyllodes sarcoma is rare but can occur in children. Any mammary nodule in children should be referred to a specialist. Traditional treatment should be avoided.
