Abstract :

 Background: Dermatofiosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is a rare, (incidence one case per million per year) uncommon soft tissue tumor involving the dermis of skin with intermediate to low grade malignant potential. DFS is a locally aggressive tumor with a high recurrence rate and very low metastatic potential (1, 4, 8, 17). Case presentation: We are reporting a 32 years lady, who presented with a lump in the left east for six months. Swelling gradually increased in size and was not associated with pain or nipple discharge. On local examination, there was 6*5 cm, solitary mass occupying the central quadrant, firm in consistency, and freely mobile. Clinically a diagnosis of fioadenoma was considered. FNAC showed spindle cells and a core biopsy was done, which was suggestive of DFSP. The Patient underwent wide local excision with oncoplasty followed by adjuvant radiotherapy. The aim of this report is to explore the various treatment options. Conclusion: DFSP is a very rare histological variant from the east (2).There are very few reports available in the literature. Wide local excision with 2–3 cm margin is recommended irrespective of site (6). Adjuvant radiotherapy has an important role in the management of DFSP. Keywords: DFSP, Breast, adjuvant RT
