Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is a malignant fibrohistiocytic tumor that appears exclusively on the skin. It is a low-grade malignant soft tissue tumor of subcutaneous tissues that has a propensity for local recurrence but seldom metastasizes. It may rarely occur on the head and neck accounting for less than one percent of total head and neck malignancies. We present a man with a giant...

Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is a relatively intermediate to low grade malignant tumour with high proclivity for local recurrence if excised inadequately. It is a locally aggressive tumour and despite sharing some histological features with fibrohistiocytic tumours, it tends to grow in a more infiltrative manner. We are reporting this rare tumour in a 30-year-old woman where the diagn...

Fibrous tumors represent a diverse subtype of soft tissue tumors and can represent benign conditions as well as frankly malignant sarcomas. Desmoid tumors and dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans are more difficult to classify and tend to be considered in the intermediate risk category. They are distinct entities, but both are locally aggressive processes which are plagued with attendant morbidity a...

Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is a rare, metastasizing tumor of the deep dermis and subcutaneous tissue. While it frequently occurs in the trunk and extremities, breast involvement has rarely been reported. In the present case, imaging and pathological technologies were used to detect DFSP of the breast. Surgical excision with wide margins (>3 cm) and pathology revealed spindle cells a...

The forehead flap is one of the oldest flaps used to reconstruct upper face and remains a useful option. defect due this often healed by secondary intention; however, rarely performed in Asians increased frequency conspicuous scars. Our patient was 38-year-old Caucasian male who underwent reconstruction for rare dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans. After surgery, there positive margin; therefore, a...
