dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (dfsp) is very rare tumor of dermis layer of skin with the incidence of only 1 case per million per year. dfsp rarely leads to a metastasis (less than 5% have metastasis), but dfsp can recur locally. we publish a rare case of a recurrent dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans and its management with radical excision and interval skin grafting.

Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans is a slow growing dermal spindle cell tumor seldom seen in the vulva and its myxoid variant, a rare type of dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans is characterised by extensive myxoid degeneration. We present the case of a 62 year old woman with an enlarging vulval swelling. Mass was excised surgically. Histopathologically the tumor consisted of uniform spindle-shaped c...

Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans is an uncommon malignant mesenchymal tumor of the dermis, which most commonly appears on the body and extremities. A preoperative diagnosis of dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans is extremely difficult, because it is a very rare entity and its appearance is often similar to that of benign breast lesion. Here, we presented a case of breast dermatofibrosarcoma protuber...

Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans is a soft tissue sarcoma that is dermal in origin. The incidence is <0.1% of all malignancies and 1% of soft tissue sarcoma. Most commonly, it involves trunk (62%) followed by extremities (25%) and head and neck (13%). It is a slow growing tumor with locally aggressive behavior. Here, a 50-year-old female diagnosed with orbital dermatofibrosarcoma developed extra...

Malignant neoplasms arising in burn scars are well known. In previous literature, 25 cases of burn scar sarcomas were reported. However, dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans is very rare and only two cases have been reported. A 43-year-old Korean man presented with multiple erythematous clustered plaques and nodules and a skin-colored subcutaneous mass on the chest after a severe burn injury at the ...

A 53-year-old male underwent more than 10 surgical treatments over 14 years, including a simple excision and local flap transfer, after recurrences of dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans of the head. Clinical results indicated that simple excision of dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans should not be performed as initial treatment. Instead, free flap transplantation, which permits a wide excision and co...

DFSP rarely leads to a metastasis (Less than 5% have metastasis), but DFSP can recur locally.

Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans is a relatively uncommon soft tissue tumor involving the dermal layer of skin with intermediate-to-low grade malignancy. Although metastasis rarely occurs, Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans is a locally aggressive tumor with a high recurrence rate. We treated a 35-year-old male patient with Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans left breast at Pakistan Air Force hospital ...

INTRODUCTION Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans is a rare low-grade soft tissue neoplasm with trunk and extremities being the most common sites of involvement. We report a rare case of male breast with dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans and its imaging features. To our knowledge the imaging appearance of dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans of the breast has never been reported in the literature. CASE P...
