An inconspicuous nodule in an uncommon area like the foot can be the primary manifestation of dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans, requiring radical excision.
We report a rare presentantion of dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans according to the SCARE guidelines. The patients main concern was the slow evolving mass on the dorsum of the foot that at presentation was 1x1cm. The biopsy showed a dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans. A radical excision involving ray amputation of the 2nd and 3rd finger provided a 1 cm clear margin. CLíNICAL DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: This case shows how an inconspicuous nodule in an uncommon area can be the primary manifestation of a serious condition.
