Recurrence of dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans: a case report and a review of literature

Abstract

A 46-year-old Saudi male underwent excision of right anterior upper chest wall lesions. On histopathological examination, the lesion was thought to be dermatofibroma. Nine years later, he presented with a recurrence at the site of excision. Review of previous studies and histopathological examination of the recurrent lesion was suggestive of dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans. He underwent wide excision with satisfactory results.
