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.

background some grafts harvested from the groin area do not become hyperpigmented and in an individual with multiple pieces of grafts, the hyperpigmentation of the pieces may vary. this study evaluates the orientation of the inset of groin grafts according to their donor sites (superior-inferior) and its role in graft hyperpigmentation. methods patients with hand burn contracture or syndactyly ...

background split- thickness skin graft is one of the most common operations in plastic surgery. it is always painful and patient discomfort from donor site often is more significant than recipient site. there is not still a standard method for treatment of the donor site. the purpose of this study was to determine the best method of dressing the donor site among three different methods with res...
