Dermatofibrosarcoma Protuberans
Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is a rare, slow-growing skin cancer. It originates in the dermis and can invade deeper tissues. DFSP often appears as a firm, reddish or purplish nodule. Treatment typically involves surgical removal. Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans rarely metastasises, making early diagnosis crucial for effective management.
