Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans of the brow and eyelid.
A 60-year-old woman had a slow-growing cutaneous nodule of her left brow. After initial excisional biopsy, the lesion recurred within 1 week. After tissue diagnosis was confirmed, the recurrent mass was excised under frozen section control and the defect was reconstructed with a forehead flap. This unusual tumor involved the brow and eyelid, down to the level of the orbital septum. The patient remains free of disease after 20 months.
