Abstract :

 Dermatofiosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is an uncommon malignant mesenchymal tumor, characterized by high propensity for local relapse and low metastatic potential. It is seen most commonly in individuals aged between 20 and 50 years, the usual location being trunk and it is limited to the dermis. Histopathology is characterized by fascicles of monomorphous spindle cells arranged in a storiform patten. Wide radical excision is the preferred surgical therapy. Herein, we report a 45 years old male with DFSP over thigh wide local excision was performed and the diagnosis was confirmed by histopathological examination. This case is being reported for its rarity and also its histopathological section revealed more than a variant.
