[Darier and Ferrand dermatofibrosarcoma. About 7 cases at the Ouagadougou teaching hospital, Burkina Faso]. / Le dermatofibrosarcome de Darier et Ferrand (DFDF): A propos de 7 cas au CHU de Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso.

The authors report 7 cases of dermatofibrosarcoma of Darier and Ferrand over a 7 year- period at the Yalgado-Ouédraogo teaching hospital, that is to say an average of 1 case per year. A male predominance was noted (4 males and 3 females), average age: 48; 5 recurrences out of 7, with an average delay of 3 years for recurrence, preferentially localised on the trunk (5 cases) and thigh (2 cases). They emphasize the importance of wide surgical exeresis and histopathology essential to confirm the diagnosis. Finally they point out the importance of clinical surveillance because of frequent recurrences.
