Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans is a rare cutaneous malignancy that is locally invasive, occurs mainly over the trunk and proximal extremities, and has a tendency to recur after wide local excision. The epidemiology, clinical features, diagnosis, histology, and treatment options are discussed.

BACKGROUND. Full-thickness skin grafts (FTSGs) are useful for reconstructing nasal defects. Traditional reported donor sites include the preauricular, postauricular, supraclavicular, clavicular, conchal bowl, melolabial fold, and upper eyelid skin. Selection of the ''best'' donor site is based on the ''best'' tissue match and ability to camouflage the donor scar. OBJECTIVE. The purpose was to report our experience with FTSGs harvested from the forehead for reconstruction of nasal defects following Mohs' surgery. METHODS. A retrospective query of the Mohs' surgery database was performed to identify nasal defects repaired with a FTSG harvested from the forehead skin. The research record contained

FTSGs harvested from the forehead, although limited in practical utility, may offer an optimal FTSG match for limited select defects while also providing an easily camouflaged donor site scar within a forehead rhytid.
