Deep DFSP, a rare variant of dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP), is confined to subcutaneous tissue. This finding suggests DFSP may not always originate in the dermis, offering new insights into its development.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatopathology
  • Oncology
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is a rare cutaneous neoplasm.
  • DFSP typically infiltrates the subcutaneous tissue from the dermis.
  • Previous reports suggested rare DFSP cases may lack dermal involvement.

Observation:

  • Three cases of DFSP exclusively in subcutaneous tissue were identified.
  • Two cases showed no dermal involvement.
  • One case exhibited minimal dermal infiltration at the dermo-subcutaneous junction.

Findings:

  • The variant was termed "deep DFSP" due to its subcutaneous location.
  • Deep DFSP is histologically and immunohistochemically similar to typical DFSP.
  • Immunohistochemistry confirmed strong vimentin and CD34 expression in all cases.

Implications:

  • The existence of deep DFSP challenges the notion that dermal origin is essential for DFSP.
  • This variant supports the possibility of DFSP arising independently within the subcutaneous tissue.
  • Understanding DFSP histogenesis may be refined by considering subcutaneous origins.
