Dermatofi brosarcoma Protuberance: An Unusual Neck Swelling in a Child

Dermatofi brosarcoma protuberance (DFSP) usually begins as a polypoid protuberance or an indurated plaque on the skin, with time the tumor grows in size and ulcerations may appear on nodular projections on its surface. In past DFSP was treated with conservative approaches. Resection with histopathological confi rmation, followed by resection of involved margin, till tumorfree margins are observed, is the ideal technique of management. Hence, it could be concluded that clinicians must suspect DFSP if there is painless, cutaneous, and multinodular lesion and it can usually be well managed by wide local excision as a single modality or if indicated combined with radiotherapy. This case report describes its characteristics and management that can be adopted in clinical practice.
