A Case of Primary Dermatofibrosarcoma Protuberans of the Lower Anterior Abdominal Wall Treated by Abdominoplasty

Abstract

Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans is a rare skin neoplasm with a high recurrence rate and a local invasive behavior. Excisional surgery is the mainstay of treatment of such tumors. Obtaining an adequate surgical safety margin is essential to ensure radical excision, however this may result in extensive skin and soft tissue defects that may require resurfacing. In this clinical case report, we describe a case of a large DFSP of the lower anterior abdominal wall, treated by abdominoplasty, we also perform a relevant scoping literature review on the topic.
