Abstract:
We describe the case of a 57-year-old woman with a tumor of the breast suspected of being a dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP). To confirm the diagnosis, molecular studies were performed on fixed tumor and revealed the presence of the fusion product of the COL1A1-PDGFB genes characteristic of DFSP.
