“…Skin is fixed to tumour, but underlying muscles are free of tumour as described in our case. CT and MRI may be sometimes needed to look for the deeper extent of the tumour, but in our case, the diagnosis was revealed by fine needle aspiration (FNA) and confirmed after histopathological examination of resected specimen, it's typical protuberant aspect is the most frequently observed clinical aspect [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] . Cartwheel appearance is characteristic of DFSP on microscopy as was found in our case also 5 .…”

“…Radiation therapy is an adjuvant therapy in cases where adequate surgical margins are not easily reached or result in aesthetic/functional defect, or in cases of positive margins, even after maximum resection. It is also indicated for patients with inoperable macroscopic lesions [1][2][3][4][5][6][7] .…”

A 23-years-old male patient came to the Surgical Oncology clinic in Saudi National Hospital, Makkah with complaint of non-healing wound present on the medial side of the right thigh since three months. A detailed history wastaken and it was revealed that this was a fast growing lesion and recurred im- mediate after surgical excision. The previous surgery had been carried out three months back in India. On the clinical examination it was revealed that it wasan irregular, ill-defined lesion, hard in consistency, not adherent to the underlying structures, and hence highly suspicious of malignancy. Diagnostic workups were done including biopsy, metastatic workup including computer tomography (CT) scan chest abdomen and pelvis. On the basis of histopathology, it was diagnosed as dermatofi- brosarcoma protuberans (DFSP). The case was presented in the Sarcoma Tumour Board and ac- cording to Tumour Board's recommendation, surgical excision was conducted.Patient was sent for anaesthesia assessment and after complete blood workup, and pre-anaesthesia assessment, pa- tient was booked for elective resection of tumour. The tumour was successfully excised with all negative margins confirmed on the frozen section and finally the sample was sent for histopathology. Post-excision, patient was followed in surgical oncology clinic for local and systemic recurrence and it was concluded after three years follow-up, that there was no local and systemic recurrence. The dermatofibrosarcoma has high potential for local recurrence and surgical excision with 2 cm negative margins is the treatment of choice without adjuvant radiotherapy.

Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is a rare mesenchymal skin tumor with intermediate to low grade malignancy and occasional distant metastasis and high rate of recurrence locally. It mostly involves trunk, extremities, scalp, and neck. This article describes a middle-aged married male with a DFSP lesion involving ventral aspect of glans and distal shaft of penis who underwent local excision and primary closure. The patient was tumor-free at three years of follow-up.
