Highlights the high recurrence rate of dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans and the need for periodic observation after surgery.
May warrant enhanced post-surgical surveillance in DFSP; single case leaves open optimal margins and protocols.
We present a typical case of dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans with local recurrence 2 months after surgery and, motivated by this patient, make a review of the most important aspects. This is a rare tumor and we call special attention to the fact that its recurrence is extremely frequent, so there is absolute need to observe these patients periodically after surgery.
