Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans is a rare, malignant, slow-growing, locally invasive tumor of the skin. Although most cases are acquired and diagnosed in adulthood, there have been an increasing number of congenital dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans mimicking benign birthmarks described in the literature. The clinical presentation of this tumor is often one of an indurated exophytic plaque or nodule; however, a rare variant can present as atrophic or sclerotic in nature. We report a case of congenital atrophic dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans of the groin in a 7-month-old boy, successfully treated with Mohs micrographic surgery. |
