Objetives:
Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans is a sarcomatous neoplasm with low incidence. It exhibits slow growth; however, it has the capacity to involve deep tissues. Clinically, it can mimic benign lesions, presenting as thickened or atrophic plaques that slowly transform into protruding lesions. The treatment of choice is surgical excision, with Mohs micrographic surgery standing out for its advantages.
Clinical Case:
A 40-year-old male patient with dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans on the back underwent excision using the Mohs technique, with no tumor recurrence after two years of follow-up. Conclusion: It is important to highlight that the Mohs technique offers advantages over conventional methods, allowing for tissue optimization, ensuring clear margins, and achieving a low recurrence rate
