Abstract
|
|
|
|
Dermatofibrosarcoma usually occur on the trunk or the proximal extremities and only rarely on the head and neck. Due to its slow growth and asymptomatic initial lesions, the time to first treatment is more than 10 years. A 23-year-old man presented who had developed a asymptomatic erythematous papule, plaque and skin-colored subcutaneous nodule on the forehead. Four months earlier the erythematous papule had appeared, gradually enlarged and spread. One month prior to presenting the skin-colored subcutaneous nodule appeared. Histologic examination showed spindle shaped cells with storiform pattern and the cells were positive for CD34 stain. We report a case of dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans on the forehead with rapid growth.
