Abstract

Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is a low-to-intermediate grade sarcoma of dermal origin that rarely presents in the vulva, typically occurring on the trunk of young to middle-aged adults. Even though it has a low potential for distant metastases, it often recurs locally. Therefore, surgical excision is the treatment of choice. We report a case of DFSP with fibrosarcoma transformation involving the vulva treated by large excision with tumor free margins followed by plastic reconstruction. Our aim is to highlight this rare disease and through literature evaluate the safety and efficacy of surgical treatment. Early recognition of this rare entity whose localization and the aggressive nature of the fibrosarcomatous component will be an issue in the surgical management.
