No etiologic or predisposing factors have been associated with phyllodes tumors. Meth is not related. Breast pathology is the least of concerns while using Meth. Meth use seriously deteriorate brain an peripheral nervous system structure and function, shortens lifespan and predisposes to domestic and street violence, prostitution, STDs and premature death. Consider quitting meth
