Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans of male breast: a case report

Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is an uncommon tumour of skin that accounts for 1.8% of all skin tumours.1 The tumour occurs on any part of the body but are commonly found at the trunk and extremities.2 It usually affects adults between the second and fifth decade of life. Incomplete resection can lead to local recurrence but distant metastases are rare.3,4 Immunohistochemistry remains an important tool to categorize DFSP. CD 34 is a better indicator. Besides, Factor xiiia, and apo-d also remains some other diagnostic tools.5
