Abstract

Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans is a rare cutaneous connective tissue tumor. DFSP is characterized by skin colored or reddish brown papules that gradually enlarge into nodule. Clinically it resembles other cutaneous soft tissue disorders, which requires meticulous physical, histopathologic and immunohistochemical examinations.
