RESULT:The tumor was completely removed in each operation, with wound skin graft survived. But relapse occured repeatedly, recurrence interval was from 7 months up to five years and eight months,recurrence interval gradually extended, all of the recurrence occurred at Mohs microsurgery cut edge.
CONCLUSION:Eexpanded resection is the preferred treatment for the early stage maxillofacial huge dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans.
