Abstract
- Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans(DFSP) is an unusual, locally aggressive, cutaneous neoplasm of low grade malignancy. Several histologic variants have been described. Among them, fibrosarcomatous dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans is associated with a higher rate of local recurrence and distal metastases as well as a shorter latency period of time until recurrence than does ordinary DFSP. As a result, it needs more intense treatments and more vigorous follow up. A 37-year-old man presented with an asymptomatic erythematous hard nodule and several reddish papules on the chest for 2 years. Histopathologic examination revealed fibrosarcomatous dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans. We, herein, report an unusual case of fibrosarcomatous dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans.
