Article Synopsis
- Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is a rare skin tumor, affecting about 1 in a million children, with 6% of cases occurring in this age group.
- A study reviewed 17 pediatric patients with DFSP over 23 years, focusing on their treatments, which primarily involved surgical excision.
- The findings suggest that specialized care from a multidisciplinary team is essential for managing pediatric DFSP, as complete surgical removal (R0 resections) led to no recurrences in the studied patients.
Renal cell carcinoma is the most common renal tumour in adult that often metastasises to the lung, liver or bone. Head and neck lesions are uncommon with no early warning signs and presents with overt metastases at primary presentation in 25%-30% of reported cases. The incidence of haemangiomas that suggest malignancy are similar to that of bone metastasis.
