title: Arsenic exposure followed by the development of dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans.
abstract: A case of documented significant arsenic exposure followed by the development of dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans is reported. Exposure to arsenic is associated with an increased chance of the subsequent development of a variety of neoplasms. It is possible that dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans may be one such tumor.
