Dermatofibrosarcoma of the scalp.

Dermatofibrosarcoma of the scalp. Surg Neurol Int. 2019;10:221 Authors: Sangrador M, Olvera JG, Ortiz VM Abstract A 25-year-old woman presented with a 4 months history of progressive pain and tumefaction in the right parietal region. Deformity of the scalp was evident, and a biopsy was taken, reporting a high- grade dermatofibrosarcoma. She underwent surgical management, achieving a gross total resection. Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans is a rare tumor arising from the dermis. It tends to have an indolent course and local recurrence after excision. PMID: 31819815 [PubMed]
