title: Aesthetic surgery techniques after excision of dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans: a case report.
abstract: Dermatofibrosarcomata protuberans are rare locally aggressive tumours that have a very high recurrence rate in the absence of wide resection. Normally, when the area to be covered is exceptionally large or when skin grafting is not possible because of the location, pedicle or free flaps are used. We report one case of wide excision where the opportunity arose to apply aesthetic surgery techniques combining bilateral superiorly based mammaplasty and reverse abdominoplasty.
