Abstract :

 Introduction: Dermatofiosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is a soft tissue tumor that originates from the dermis.Treatment options for DFSP

include wide local excision and Mohs micrographic surgery. Deltopectoral flap is a versatile tool to reconstruct any defect in head and neck area
arising from wide local excision of the tumor.
Case Report: We present a case of a patient who presented with DFSP on her right shoulder. After excision of tumor reconstruction of
supraclavicular fossa defect was done with deltopectoral flap.
Patient was sent for adjuvant radiotherapy. The patient has completed 1 year on follow–up and is doing well without any evidence of local or distant
recurrence.
