    Area of Science:

    • Dermatologic surgery
    • Surgical oncology
    • Cutaneous oncology

    Background:

    • Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is a rare, locally aggressive skin cancer.
    • DFSP commonly recurs after standard surgical excision.
    • Histopathologic variants of DFSP exist, influencing treatment strategies.

    Observation:

    • The case involved a patient with an uncommon myxoid histopathologic pattern of DFSP.
    • Conventional treatments carry a high risk of recurrence for DFSP.
    • Mohs surgery is a specialized technique for complete tumor removal.

    Findings:

    • The patient with myxoid DFSP achieved successful treatment outcomes.
    • Mohs surgery demonstrated efficacy in managing this rare DFSP variant.
    • Complete tumor extirpation was confirmed histopathologically.

    Implications:

    • Mohs surgery may be a valuable therapeutic option for rare DFSP histopathologic patterns.
    • This case highlights the importance of tailored surgical approaches for DFSP.
    • Further research into optimal DFSP treatments is warranted.
