文摘

Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans is an extremely rare, potentially malignant tumor type that usually presents on the trunk or proximal extremities. The clinical presentation includes a gradually enlarging painless plaque-like or nodular lesion of the skin with surrounding red to blue discoloration. The diagnosis is based on clinical presentation, computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging, and biopsy with histologic analysis. An early and timely diagnosis improves chances of complete surgical resection thus improving prognosis. Herein, we present a rare case of dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans with the hopes that its addition to the literature will aid in the earlier recognition of future patients and help prevent this potentially curable disease from becoming deadly.
