    Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is a rare skin cancer. This review of 12 Black patients suggests trauma may be a factor, recommending wide surgical excision for treatment.

    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Oncology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is a rare, slow-growing, low-grade malignant skin neoplasm.
    • Its etiology remains largely unknown, with limited evidence suggesting potential links to trauma.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review clinical and histological features of DFSP in Black patients.
    • To evaluate treatment outcomes and recommendations for DFSP.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of twelve DFSP cases in Black patients.
    • Analysis of clinical presentation, histological findings, and treatment modalities.

    Main Results:

    • DFSP observed in Black patients at Baragwanath Hospital between 1979-1983.

  • Clinical and histological characteristics of these cases were documented.

    • Conclusions:

    • Wide tridimensional excision with local reconstruction is the recommended treatment for DFSP.
    • Further research into predisposing factors, such as trauma, is warranted.
