Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans is an uncommon locally aggressive malignant neoplasm that most frequently appears in the trunk, followed by the extremities, head, and neck. But occurrence in the breast is extremely rare. We present a case of a 28-year-old woman, who had a history of trauma 5 years previously and excision 1 year before presentation at our clinic. We performed wide excision, toge...

Background Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (dfsp) is a rare tumour originating from the dermis, it is slow growing, nodular, polypoid neoplasm that invade the subcutaneous tissue and does not usually metastasis.Clinical presentation is not uniform and may mimic common tropical benign skin lesions.We intend to study the behaviour of this tumour in our environment . Materails and method. A Clinic...

Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is a rare cutaneous tumor with a possibly misleading presentation. It is rare in childhood. We report an 18-month-old child with an acquired atrophic plaque of the left ankle. Based on clinical findings, initial proposed diagnoses included localized scleroderma and localized lipoatrophy. At the age of 5 years the plaque had increased in size and become a p...

Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans is a rare cutaneous tumor with particular characteristics and a high frequency of recurrence after inadequate primary treatment. Its histopathological diagnosis might be difficult. Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans can be safely distinguished from other similar neoplasms of mesenchymal origin based on the immunohistochemical expression of CD34 antigen and the genet...

INTRODUCTION Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans is an uncommon low-grade soft tissue sarcoma with a high potential for recurrence as it has irregular finger like extensions. CASE DESCRIPTION We report a case of a large, recurrent dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans in a child involving the anterior abdominal wall, which posed a challenge for reconstruction. Peritoneum sparing full thickness resectio...

Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans with fibrosarcomatous transformation (DFSP-FS) is a rare variant, higher rates of recurrence and metastasis than DFSP. Detection the collagen type I alpha 1 (COL1A1)–platelet-derived growth factor beta chain (PDGFB) fusion gene useful for diagnosis In this letter, we report case DFSP-FS, focusing on expression COL1A1-PDGFB in lesions. Increased may be associated ...
