title: [Treatment of Darier-Ferrand tumors of the head and neck. Retrospective analysis of 20 cases].
abstract: Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans is an unusual cutaneous neoplasm. Because of its high propensity for local recurrence, a wide and deep excision is recommended as the only satisfactory treatment. This tumour can raise difficult problems of reconstruction to plastic surgeons particularly when located in the face. The authors present a retrospective study of twenty cases of dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans of the head and neck treated at the Saint-Louis hospital over a period of twelve years.
