Dermatofibrosarcoma Protuberans

Dermatofibrosarcoma Protuberans, often abbreviated DFSP is a slow growing, non-painful tumour. It is sometimes preceded by antecedent trauma in ten to twenty percent of cases and typically presents in the age group of young adults. The tumour is more common amongst males than females and is distributed on the trunk, groin, and proximal extremities, which distinguishes it from dermatofibroma, as the aforementioned tumour occurs on the distal extremities.
