Article Synopsis
- Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is a slow-growing soft-tissue tumor that mostly occurs in early or mid-adult life, impacting both genders equally.
- It typically appears in the trunk (50-60%), proximal extremities (20-30%), and head and neck (10-15%), with low metastatic potential but a high local recurrence rate.
- A case study is presented of a female patient with a large soft tissue growth on her face, initially misdiagnosed as a benign tumor; histological and immunohistochemical tests confirmed it as DFSP, highlighting the challenges in diagnosing this rare tumor.
