Giant cell fibroblastoma recurring as dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans.
A case of giant cell fibroblastoma in an 8-year-old child recurred locally 15 years later with the typical picture of dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans. This sequence of events suggests that giant cell fibroblastoma is a juvenile form of dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans.
