DERMATOFIBROSARCOMA PROTUBERANS– A CASE REPORT
Dr. Sujata S. Giriyan, Dr. Shilpa S. Bilagi
Abstract :
Dermatofiosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is well differentiated, primary fiosarcoma of the skin. These tumours are slow growing, and locally aggressive and can recur, they rarely metastasize. It presents typically at mid–adult life with a slight male predominance. The trunk and proximal extremities are the most frequent locations of the disease. It accounts for <0.01% of all malignancies and <0.1% of all the cutaneous neoplasms, with reported incidence being 0.8 cases per million–persons. Radical wide local excision of the tumor along with surrounding area and subcutaneous tissue is the mainstay of treatment to avoid local recurrence. We report a case of DFSP over left popliteal fossa.
