title: [Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans--the need for a radical approach].
abstract: The authors present the case-history of a young patient with rapid growth of a relapsing skin tumor--dermamtofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP)--in the scar of a previous minor dermal excision. DFSP is a malignant skin tumour, frequently relapsing in the scar after excision, rarely metastasizing into lymph nodes and the lungs. The patient was treated by a major radical excision and a dermal flap plastic operation with subsequent adjuvant actinotherapy. With regard to possible relapses, the authors recommend long-term dispensarization of patients.
