ABSTRACT
Congenital dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is an extremely rare skin tumor that is commonly misdiagnosed, or is often diagnosed long after the initial presentation. Although many cases of DFSP are diagnosed in adulthood, there are some differences between adult DFSP and congenital DFSP. We report a case of congenital DFSP that was initially misdiagnosed as a simple vascular lesion. The delay in diagnosis led to the considerable growth of the lesion, such that a huge scar was left after the surgical treatment. The major differences between adult and congenital DFSP are discussed through a literature review. Clinicians should be aware of the characteristics of congenital DFSP, to reduce misdiagnosis and the delay of diagnosis from the initial presentation.
