    Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is a rare skin cancer that can spread to lymph nodes and distant sites. This case highlights DFSP

    Area of Science:

    • Oncology
    • Dermatopathology
    • Surgical Pathology

    Background:

    • Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is a rare, locally aggressive skin neoplasm.
    • DFSP typically exhibits low metastatic potential but can rarely spread regionally or distantly.
    • Understanding DFSP behavior is crucial for effective patient management.

    Observation:

    • A case of dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans with lymph node involvement in a 27-year-old woman is presented.
    • The tumor demonstrated aggressive behavior with repeated local recurrences.
    • Pulmonary metastases developed 10 years after initial resection, leading to fatal outcome.

    Findings:

    • This case represents the fifth reported instance of lymph node metastasis in DFSP.
    • Literature review indicates 17 cases of hematogenous spread and 3 with combined lymphatic and hematogenous metastases.

  • DFSP metastasis, though rare, significantly impacts prognosis.

    • Implications:

    • Aggressive DFSP may require more extensive surgical margins and vigilant surveillance.
    • The potential for late-stage metastasis underscores the need for long-term follow-up.
    • This case contributes to the understanding of rare metastatic patterns in DFSP.
