Abstract
Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is an uncommon, locally and deeply recurring dermal neoplasm that, when it occurs in cosmetically sensitive areas, can be devastating, particularly in children. MOHS micrographic surgery is now recognized as the treatment of choice for DFSP. A lesion of DFSP near the breast of a 9-year-old girl was treated by this technique. To our knowledge, this is the first case of DFSP in a child in which MOHS micrographic surgery was used as the first-line treatment modality.Keywords
