English abstract
Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans is a relatively uncommon softtissue tumor involving the dermal layer of skin with intermediate-to-low grade malignancy. Although metastasis rarely occurs, Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans is a locally aggressive tumorwith a high recurrence rate. We treated a 35-year-old male patientwith Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans left breast at PakistanAir Force hospital Karachi. The reluctance on the patient's sideunnecessarily delayed operative procedure. Allowing wide safetymargins during resection, an extended resection was carried out.The patient was later subjected to radiotherapy.
