Abstract

Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans is an uncommon cutaneous tumour arising from fibroblasts, histiocytes or neuroectodermal cells of dermis and invades fat, muscles and evenbone. It is a slow growing locally aggressive fibrous tumour with high recurrence rate. Its relatively rare occurrence lessens clinical awareness and most of the lesions remain undiagnosed until biopsy is done. Less than 5% of these tumors are located on the scalp and the recurrence rate is very high in this area1
