Dermatofibrosarcoma Protuberans Male Breast: A Case report

Oman Med J. 2011 Sep;26(5):e023. doi: 10.5001/omj.2011.97.

Abstract

Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans is a relatively uncommon soft tissue tumor involving the dermal layer of skin with intermediate-to-low grade malignancy. Although metastasis rarely occurs, Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans is a locally aggressive tumor with a high recurrence rate. We treated a 35-year-old male patient with Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans left breast at Pakistan Air Force hospital Karachi. The reluctance on the patient's side unnecessarily delayed operative procedure. Allowing wide safety margins during resection, an extended resection was carried out. The patient was later subjected to radiotherapy.
