Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans: wide local excision vs. Mohs micrographic surgery.Cancer treatment reviews, 34 8
Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is a rare cutaneous sarcoma that develops from dermal fibroblasts and spreads within the dermis and subcutaneous fat. It is locally aggressive, with a high local recurrence rate after excision but has extremely low metastatic potential. In the case of recurrent tumors, surgical excision with adequate margins is the gold standard treatment and may require adjuvant radiotherapy or chemotherapy in some cases. We conducted a retrospective analysis of individuals with dermatofibrosarcoma protuberance of the head and neck region that had treatment at our facility between 2016 and 2021. We gathered the data on the surgical techniques, reconstructive techniques used, histopathological features, adjuvant therapy, and outcomes. We treated three patients with head and neck dermatofibrosarcoma protuberance: one scalp lesion and two on the cheek. All three patients had recurrent tumors, two of whom were treated elsewhere for the primary lesion. One patient underwent surgery for a benign spindle cell tumor of the right cheek, but a final histopathological examination revealed dermatofibrosarcoma protuberance, and the tumor recurred within 3 months. The duration of recurrence is between 3 and 24 months. The size of the tumor ranges from 7.2 to 10.5 cm. The wide local excision margins range from 2 to 4 cm. Reconstruction ranges from split skin graft to regional flap. Inadequate margins raise the possibility of local recurrence in dermatofibrosarcoma protuberance.
