[Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans: authors' experience].

Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans is an uncommon slow-growing cutaneous neoplasm. Surgical excision is an effective therapeutic approach although a significant number of local recurrences has been documented in the literature. In the present paper the Authors report 3 cases of dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans. All cases have been surgically treated with a wide local excision extended up to 3 cm from the tumor borders. No local recurrence has been reported. The Authors conclude that the surgical technique employed could reduce the local recurrence rate of dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans.
