Abstract:
Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans is a rare dermal and subcutaneous soft-tissue tumor, uncommon in children, characterized by CD34 positivity and COL1A1-PDGFB fusion. Prognosis is generally good, but local recurrence risk is high, so complete excision with clear margins and six-monthly follow-up for three years after surgery is recommended in most cases.

Rous Sarcoma virus or RSV was discovered by F. Peyton Rous in the year 1911 as a filterable transmissible agent that could cause tumors in chickens. He won a Nobel Prize for this discovery in 1966. His experiments clearly demonstrated that some cancers could be caused by infectious agents and led to the discovery of many more cancer-causing viruses in animals as well as humans.
