The surgical management of a hypogastric dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans

Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is an uncommon skin tumor with intermediate grade of malignancy. Wide surgical resection with disease-free margin offers an excellent probability of cure. These large excisions cause large skin defect that can be difficult to cover. Through this case report we...

description Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is an uncommon skin tumor with intermediate grade of malignancy. Wide surgical resection with disease-free margin offers an excellent probability of cure. These large excisions cause large skin defect that can be difficult to cover. Through this case report we describe a surgically treated DFSP that was covered by a Mc Gregor flap; which despite its seniority is still relevant and continues to serve plastic surgery.
