Dermatofibrosarcoma is a rare fibrous tumor of the skin. Its evolution is slow and indolent with a high potential for recurrence. We report a case of Darier and Ferrand dermatofibrosarcoma that had progressed in a 56-year-old female patient from childhood. Clinical examination revealed an indurated, round, budding, ulcerative mass located to the left hypochondrium. This mass was painful, hard, and mobile at deep levels. Computed tomography of the thorax, abdomen, and pelvis showed no lesions other than a mass in the left hypochondrium. Immunohistochemical studies of previously performed biopsies were unremarkable. A histologic examination of the surgical specimen confirmed the diagnosis. The further course after 12 months was uneventful.
Keywords: Dermatofibrosarcoma, Difficulties in diagnosis and treatment, Slow and indolent course
