Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans is a rare, slow-growing, locally destructive, intermediate-grade malignancy that originates in the dermal layer of the skin. Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans rarely metastasizes and has a marked tendency to recur following local surgical excision. The lesion is found most commonly on the trunk, on the proximal aspect of both the lower and upper extremities, and in the head and neck region. Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans occurs most commonly in people between the ages of 20 and 50. This article describes the clinical and pathologic features of this rare, malignant neoplasm and describes a rare case of dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans involving the pediatric foot.
