Abstract

Here we report a case of dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) that presented originally to the emergency department with chief complaint of ‘chest pain arising from a chest wall mass’. This case is unique for multiple reasons including the fact that the DFSP caused this patient severe pain that radiated from the site of the mass to the patient’s back. The lesion originated from a traumatic scar that the patient had obtained following a car accident two years prior to presentation. In addition, the DFSP was significantly larger in size than what has typically been reported in the literature. This case illustrates that DFSP has the potential to present with multiple atypical features.
