Vulvar dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans is an extremely rare disease. Its rarity can hamper the quality of treatment; deeper knowledge is necessary to plan appropriate management. The purpose of this review is to analyse the data reported in the literature to obtain evidence regarding appropriate disease management. We made a systematic search of the literature, including the terms "dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans", "vulva", and "vulvar", alone or in combination. We selected articles published in English from two electronic databases, PubMed and MEDLINE, and we analysed their reference lists to include other potentially relevant studies. We selected 39 articles, with a total of 68 cases reported; they were retrospective case reports and case series. Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans of the vulva tends towards local recurrence; an early and timely pathological diagnosis, together with an appropriate surgical approach, are of utmost importance to ensure free margins and maximise the curative potential. Even if this is an indolent disease and it generally shows a good prognosis, appropriate management may help in reducing the rate of local recurrences that may hamper patients' quality of life. Management by a multidisciplinary team is highly recommended.
