Pigmented dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans, also known as Bednar's tumor, is a rare skin neoplasm. Its key feature is the presence of melanin-containing cells, distinguishing it from non-pigmented forms.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatopathology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Pigmented dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (Bednar's tumor) is a rare variant of dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans, accounting for 1-5% of cases.
  • It was initially described by Bednar as storiform neurofibroma.

Observation:

  • Bednar's tumor exhibits spindle-shaped cells in a storiform or "carthwheel" pattern.
  • Melanin-containing dendritic cells are characteristically scattered within the tumor stroma.

Findings:

  • The presence of pigmented cells is the primary diagnostic feature differentiating Bednar's tumor from conventional dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans.
  • This report details two cases, discussing their clinicopathological features.

Implications:

  • Accurate histopathological diagnosis is crucial for appropriate patient management.
