uncommon locally malignant skin tumors
They arise in the deeper layer of the skin (the dermis). It grows slowly but has a tendency to recur after excision. Luckily, it rarely spreads to other sites beyond the skin.
I had a classmate who is the CEO of a chain of multispeciality hospitals in Hyderabad, first had this locally excised when we were in medical school. ( this was all hush hush I became privy to this information after a long time )
It recurred after 5 or 6 years when I excised it when I was an assistant professor of general surgery.
when the histology came back I advised him to have an extended excision ,he waited for few more years before getting a wider excision done by Oncological surgeon Dr.Chandrashekar working at MNJ cancer hospital Hyderabad. I have not asked him recently how he is doing.
The cause of DFSP is unknown, but an injury to the affected skin may be a predisposing factor. Recent advances show cells carry abnormal chromosomes within the cells
DFSP is rare, and affects less than 1 person in every 100,000
presents as a painless thickened area of skin () and/or that feels rubbery or firm to touch and is fixed to the underlying skin. It may be red-brown or skin coloured. It usually grows very slowly over months to years.
Often diagnosed when it enters a more rapid growth phase giving rise to larger lesions. Neglected tumours may reach large proportions

radiotherapy for locally nonresectable tumors or The inhibitor imatinib mesylate is used to treat rare cases of local advanced inoperable or dermatofibroscarcoma
