Abstract
Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is a rare tumor of the skin, which has a propensity for local recurrence. Surgery is the only option of treatment and resection with wide surgical margins including the underlying fascia has become the standard treatment. Two cases of DFSP located on the trunk and forearm are presented who were managed with 3 cm tumor free lateral margins and in depth resection including underlying muscles. The patients were found to have no tumors after 3 and 4 years follow-up. This aggressive approach including excision of underlying muscles is advocated for DFSP located on the trunk or extremities to prevent local recurrence.
