A Case of Dermatofibrosarcoma Protuberans
Abstract
- Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (Hoffmann, 1925) is an uncommon, locally malignant fibroblastic tumor of the skin, which is characterized by infrequent metastasis and marked tendency of local recurrence after excision. Usual clinical lesion of dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans is a firm, raised, multinodular, tender tumor, which is fixed to the skin above, but movable over underlying tissues. Histopa,thologically, this tumor shows the characteristic cartwheel patterns, with the fibroblasts arranged radially about a small central hub of fibrous tissue. The authors report a case of recurred dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans, developed on the left arm of a forty-year old woman. There was no evidence of metastasis.
