Abstract:
Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is a rare, slow-growing, spindle cell neoplasm with low to intermediate grade
malignant potential, commonly found in young and middle-aged adults, more in males than females. DFSP mostly
originates in the dermis; rarely, it may be located in the deeper tissues without dermal involvement. Typically, DFSP
appears as a multinodular mass, which then spreads into the subcutaneous tissues and muscle; it rarely dedifferentiates to
high-grade fibrosarcoma, and more rarely, it may metastasise. We describe magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features
in three female patients with histologically proven DFSP and review the literature.
