Abstract

Background: Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is a rare soft tissue tumor that may affect the trunk, proximal extremities and less frequently the scalp.Methods: A 25-year-old Hispanic male presented with a large recurrent left sided scalp lesion.A wide margin soft tissue resection was done followed by craniectomy and allograft cranioplasty with deep margin resection and autologous duraplasty.Skull reconstruction was done.The scalp defect was closed by a serratus anterior myofascial free flap and a split thickness graft from the thigh.Results: Over a 5-year follow up period, there was no evidence of local recurrence, distant spread, infections or neurological deficit.The only visible effect noted was alopecia at the surgical site.Conclusions: A single-stage complex surgical excision and reconstruction may represent the safest and most effective option in the management of recurrent scalp DFSP with improved outcomes including minimal morbidity and prolonged recurrence free survival or cure.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
