- Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is a rare type of sarcoma, accounting for only 1%-6% of all sarcomas, and is extremely uncommon in individuals under 20, with an incidence of less than one per million.
- DFSP is characterized as a locally aggressive tumor with a low likelihood of spreading (metastasis) to other parts of the body.
- The management of three complex pediatric DFSP cases involved a collaborative surgical approach, incorporating both plastic and dermatologic surgery, utilizing the slow Mohs micrographic surgery technique for optimal outcomes.
