| 摘要 |
Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP), a rare indolent cutaneous tumor, arises
from the rearrangement of chromosomes 17 and 22. The optimal treatment for
DFSP is resection with wide margins. DFSP is radiosensitive. Adjuvant radiotherapy may be considered in case of a positive resection margin or close margin. We report a 69-year-old Taiwanese man with DFSP. The lesion began to grow in the front part of the chest wall about 3 years previously. In the past 6 months, the lesion became larger and harder. Surgical resection was performed and the pathology report showed dermatofibrosarcoma with a close margin (about 0.2 cm). For fear of cardiovascular complications, and due to the old age of the patient and the location of the tumor in the front part of the chest wall, radiation therapy was not performed. Eight months after the operation, the patient remained free from recurrence. He is still under close follow up, as the median time of recurrence is around 38 months after surgery. |
