Abstract:
Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is a slowgrowing, locally invasive tumour of the dermis. It commonly presents in the trunks and proximal extremities but is seen to a lesser extent in the head and neck regions. We present a case report of a recurrent DFSP in a 48-year-old Iban woman at the occipital region. The patient underwent wide local excision and removal of outer table of cranium, dressing followed by split thickness skin graft. Histopathological examination confirmed dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans with clear lateral surgical margins and a deep margin of 0.5mm. She is currently undergoing radiotherapy and is planned for 50Grey 25cycles.

Cells are regularly exposed to mutagens—factors in the environment that can damage DNA and generate mutations. UV radiation is one of the most common mutagens and is estimated to introduce a significant number of changes in DNA. These include bends or kinks in the structure, which can block DNA replication or transcription. If these errors are not fixed, the damage can cause mutations, which in turn can result in cancer or disease depending on which sequences are...
