Abstract
Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is an uncommon cutaneous spindle cell tumor of mesenchymal origin with intermediate malignant potential. It usually arises in the dermis and subcutis of the trunk and proximal extremities. It has high tendency for local recurrence but low rate of distant metastasis. We present a case of 26 year old male presented as a recurrent mass in the chest wall diagnosed as spindle cell tumor suggestive of DFSP on cytology and confirmed by histopathology and immunohistochemistry.
