This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between surgical margin status and local recurrence in benign and borderline phyllodes tumors.</div></div><div><h3>Methods</h3><div>A total of 177 patients diagnosed with phyllodes tumors from two centers were included.

The median pathological tumor diameter was 35 mm (IQR: 27–55 mm). During a median follow-up of 60 months, local recurrence occurred in 12 patients (6.8 %), while no systemic metastasis or tumor-related death was observed. Patients with borderline phyllodes tumors had a higher local recurrence rate and shorter recurrence-free survival (RFS) (p = 0.022 and p = 0.013, respectively).
