International Surgery Journal. 2020 Jul; 7(7): 2432-24342349-33052349-2902http://imsear.searo.who.int/handle/123456789/213204Dermatofibrosarcoma protruberens is a rare soft tissue tumour of low malignant potential, commonly seen on the trunk and extremities. It is a slow growing sarcoma, with a tendency for recurrence. Rarely, it may be a high-grade tumour. It responds well to wide local excision. Radiotherapy is beneficial for margin positive and high-grade tumours. We present a case of a 22 years old male with a dermatofibrosarcoma protruberens presenting as a swelling over the left inguinal region since, 4 years, that was excised with a 2cm margin. Patient was followed up for six months without any recurrence.Dermatofibrosarcoma protruberensSarcomaWide local excisionImatinibSpindle cellsStoriform patternJournal ArticleIndiaDepartment of General Surgery, Dr D.
