Article Synopsis
- Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is a rare but locally aggressive skin tumor in children, known for slow growth and low likelihood of spreading, yet it often goes misdiagnosed due to its nonspecific symptoms.
- Diagnosing DFSP can be difficult because it may present as nodular lesions or resemble other conditions like vascular malformations, highlighting the need for histologic and immunohistochemical examinations.
- Successful treatment involves complete surgical removal with wide margins, as seen in two pediatric cases where lesions initially mimicked vascular issues, resulting in no recurrences after follow-ups of 6 months and 2 years, with ongoing monitoring planned for at least 5 years.
