Abstract

Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is a rare, low-to-intermediate grade sarcoma that typically arises in the dermis and infiltrates subcutaneous tissue. Due to superficial appearance of DFSP, imaging techniques are not always utilized. However, they may be useful in large or atypical cases. The standard treatment for DFSP is excision of the lesion. In this article, we review the role of different imaging modalities in the assessment and management of DFSP.
