Abstract
|
|
|
|
Atrophic dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is an uncommon clinical variant, which clinically mimics other atrophic dermatological conditions. Given the typical ‘protuberant’ morphology of DFSP, such atrophic lesions may be difficult to diagnose clinically. We report a 44-year-old man who presented with an 8-month history of an asymptomatic, depressed, anetoderma-like plaque on the right subclavicular area. He also presented with a 1-year history of a 1.5×1.5 cm, asymptomatic, firm, erythematous nodule above an atrophic lesion. Biopsy specimens were taken from each lesion. These specimens, along with histochemical staining for CD34, established the diagnosis of dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans.
