Paediatric dermatofibrosarcoma protuberan-a case report in an Afro-Caribbean boy.

Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans is a rare low-grade sarcoma, which rarely metastasizes, but it is locally aggressive with a propensity to recur. It usually affects persons of African descent and is extremely rare in childhood with a favourable prognosis. We present a case of paediatric dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans to the midline of the lower back of a 9-year-old Afro-Caribbean boy who was biopsied with a 2-mm margin.

Pleomorphic hyalinizing angiectatic tumour of the lower back - a rare case and review of the literature.

Pleomorphic hyalinizing angiectatic tumour (PHAT) is a very rare low-grade indeterminate neoplasm of connective and other soft tissue, which is not known to metastasize though local recurrence has been documented. It most commonly presents in the lower extremities, but other anatomical locations have been described. This is the second known case of PHAT from the Caribbean region and adds to the limited reported cases of the condition in the literature.
