A Fibrosarcomatous ("High-Grade") Variant of Dermatofibrosarcoma Protuberans (DFSP)
Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is a relatively uncommon soft tissue tumor with intermediate-to-low grade malignancy. There is usually little nuclear pleomorfism and only low to moderate mitotic activity. Conventional DFSP, usually have fewer than 5 mitotic figures/10 high-power fields. We describe a case of a 74year old male patient who presented to the surgical clinic with active bleed...
متن کاملDermatofibrosarcoma protuberans with fibrosarcomatous transformation*
To the Editor, Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is an uncommon sarcoma of the skin and soft tissue with an intermediate level of malignancy. DFSP with fibrosarcomatous differentiation (FS-DFSP) is a rare variant of DFSP, involving greater aggression, higher rates of local recurrences and a higher metastatic potential. We describe the case of a 70-year-old woman who presented with a painle...
متن کاملFibrosarcomatous Variant of Dermatofibrosarcoma Protuberans: An Aggressive Tumor - A Case Report

Fibrosarcomatous DFSP (FS-DFSP), a rare variant of DFSP, has got a higher tendency for recurrence and metastasis resulting in significant morbidity and reduced survival. We present a case of this rare malignancy in a 23-year-old female who presented with...
متن کاملDermatofibrosarcoma protuberans with fibrosarcomatous transformation of the head and neck

A 28-year-old Mediterranean female presented with a 45-day history of rapidly growing cutaneous lesion of the face. Surgical biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of DFSP. Subsequently, the patient underwent wide lo...
متن کاملFibrosarcomatous dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans: A case report of an aggressive soft tissue sarcoma
Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans is a rare soft tissue neoplasm arising from mesenchymal cells, making up about 6% of all soft tissue tumours. Often found on the scalp, neck, trunk and extremities, it has an intermediateto low-grade malignancy potential except the fibrosarcomatous variant (high-grade), which is more likely to metastasize than other types. Here we present the case of a 46-year-ol...
