Management of dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans with fibrosarcomatous transformation: an evidence-based review of the literature

Abstract

Fibrosarcomatous transformation represents a rare event in dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) with unpredictable biological behaviour. No guidelines for the adequate treatment of patients with this rare neoplasm have been published. Herein, we present a comprehensive review of the literature comprising 157 patients with transformed DFSP focussing on surgical and adjuvant treatment modalities for this tumour. In the cohort examined, local recurrence occurred in 36% of cases and was significantly lower in patients treated by wide excision with margins ≥2 cm when compared with those treated with local excision without defined margins (P = 0.01). ...
