Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans is a rare skin tumor that can recur. This case shows successful treatment of a recurrent breast dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans with wide excision and radiation, preventing further recurrence.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Radiation Oncology

Background:

  • Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is an uncommon, locally aggressive skin neoplasm.
  • DFSP has a high propensity for local recurrence, even after complete excision.
  • Metastasis is rare, but local invasion can be extensive.

Observation:

  • A 45-year-old female patient presented with a recurrent DFSP nodule on her breast.
  • The initial presentation was a post-excision recurrence.
  • The lesion was located on the breast tissue.

Findings:

  • The recurrent DFSP was treated with wide margin re-excision.
  • Adjuvant radiation therapy was administered post-operatively.
  • A two-year monthly follow-up revealed no evidence of tumor recurrence.

Implications:

  • Wide margin excision combined with adjuvant radiation is an effective treatment strategy for recurrent breast DFSP.
  • This multimodal approach can achieve durable local disease control.
  • Careful long-term surveillance is crucial for patients treated for DFSP.
