Dermatofibrosarcoma Protuberans of the Neck: A Brief Review of the Literature.

Dermatofibrosarcome protuberance (DFSP) is a rare, slow growing soft tissue sarcoma with fibroblastic origin, which has a great, potential of local invasion and recurrence. Because of its unspecific appearance and slow growth features it is commonly misdiagnosed as other benign lesions that leads to a late accurate diagnosis or an inadequate initial treatment. A young female patient with DFSP on the neck who was initially misdiagnosed as lipoma and then underwent inadequate initial resection is presented in this case. © Association of Otolaryngologists of India 2018.
