Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Dermatopathology

Background:

  • Dermatofibrosarcoma is an uncommon pediatric neoplasm.
  • Often overlooked, its occurrence in children warrants specific attention.

Observation:

  • An 11-year-old boy presented with a progressively growing neck tumor.
  • The tumor developed 4 years after a cervical trauma.
  • Clinical examination revealed a moderately invasive tumor adherent to erythematous skin.

Findings:

  • Histopathological analysis showed a poorly defined proliferation of spindle cells in the dermis and hypodermis.
  • The cells exhibited a storiform arrangement.
  • Two surgical excisions were required for complete removal.

Implications:
