Case Rep Dermatol. 2014 May 9;6(2):134-9. doi: 10.1159/000362900. eCollection 2014 May.

Abstract

We present a typical case of dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans with local recurrence 2 months after surgery and, motivated by this patient, make a review of the most important aspects. This is a rare tumor and we call special attention to the fact that its recurrence is extremely frequent, so there is absolute need to observe these patients periodically after surgery.

Keywords: Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans; Malignancy; Neoplasia; Skin tumor.
