Background: Wide-excision surgery is required in Darier-Ferrand dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans, but there is no consensus regarding the lateral margins.
Materials And Methods: We performed a systematic review based on a MEDLINE search of articles, published from 1994 to 2009 to determine the optimal procedure to avoid recurrences and treatment morbidity.
Results: The analyzed articles included five meta-analyses of retrospective studies; three prospective, nonrandomized studies; and 35 retrospective studies.
