چکیده
We report on a patient who presented on the ear, nose and throat (ENT) clinic with swelling on the right temporal region. Imaging studies revealed an expansive process of the skin and subcutaneous tissues of the right preauricular region. Post intravenous contrast administration revealed an ovoid mass with high enhancement without affecting the parotid gland. The patient underwent tumor resection, and a biopsy confirmed the presence of a Dermatofibrosarcoma Protuberans (DFSP). In addition, as part of the treatment the patient received radiation therapy and is currently disease-free without signs of recurrence.
