ABSTRACT
Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans is a rare type of cancer, a soft tissue sarcoma that develops in the deep layers of skin. It is a locally aggressive tumor with a high recurrence rate but the metastasis rarely occurs. The first sign of dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans is often a small bump on the skin. It may resemble a deep-seated pimple of rough patch of skin. The tumor typically grows slowly and can become a raised nodule. Therefore, it is likely to be misdiagnosed as keloid, basal cell carcinoma and scleroderma. We recently experienced a case of dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans in a 63-year-old man, who presented with anterior lower neck mass. We present this case with a review of the literature.
