Abstract

Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans of the vulva is an extremely rare neoplasm. This lowgrade sarcoma of the dermis clinically appears to be encapsulated but microscopically has tumor projections well away from the central nodules. Wide local excision is the recommended treatment for dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans; however, a more radical surgical approach may be needed to obtain clear surgical margins. The following case study presents the fifth reported patient with this unusual neoplasm on the vulva.
