Sonography of dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans of the groin

Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is an uncommon tumor that arises from the dermis of adults. Its malignant potential is considered to be intermediate. Because the diagnosis of DFSP can frequently be suspected on the basis of physical examination reports on its sonographic appearance are rare. We report a case that highlights the value of sonography in assessing the subcutaneous extent of DFSP. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Clin Ultrasound, 2008
