Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans of the scrotum

Abstract

Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans is a rare tumor that arises in the dermis, with a strong tendency to recur locally. It is slow growing and often presents as a skin-colored plaque on the trunk, although it may arise anywhere on the body. Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans has a distinctive histologic appearance, and immunohistochemical studies can help make the diagnosis. This case report describes a young man who presented with complaints of an enlarging right scrotal mass and was diagnosed with dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans.
