Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is a slowgrowing, locally invasive tumour of the dermis. It commonly
presents in the trunks and proximal extremities but is seen
to a lesser extent in the head and neck regions. We present
a case report of a recurrent DFSP in a 48-year-old Iban
woman at the occipital region. The patient underwent wide
local excision and removal of outer table of cranium,
dressing followed by split thickness skin graft.
Histopathological examination confirmed
dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans with clear lateral surgical
margins and a deep margin of 0.5mm. She is currently
undergoing radiotherapy and is planned for 50Grey
25cycles.
