LM DDx dermatofibroma, dermatomyofibroma, nodular fasciitis
IHC CD34 +ve, Factor XIIIa -ve
Molecular t(17;22)(q22;q15)

Prognosis moderate, locally aggressive, rarely metastases
Treatment wide excision

Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans, abbreviated DFSP, is a rare locally aggressive tumour of the skin.

General

  • Destroys adnexal structures - somewhat unusual for a mostly benign tumour.
  • Occasionally transforms to a (more aggressive) fibrosarcoma.[1]
  • Typically slow growing.[2]
  • Usually second to fifth decade.[2]

Treatment:[3]

  • Wide excision.
  • May include imatinib (Gleevec).

Gross

Features:[4]

  • Firm plaque, often bosselated, usually on the trunk.
  • +/-Ulceration.

Images:

Microscopic

Features:[3]

  • Dermal spindle cell lesion with storiform pattern.
    • Spokes of the wheel-pattern.
  • Contains adipose tissue within the tumour -- key feature.
    • Described as "honeycomb pattern" and "Swiss cheese pattern".

Notes:

  • Adnexal structure within tumour are preserved -- this is unusual for a malignant tumour -- important.

DDx:

DDx of storiform pattern:

Subtypes

Numerous variants/subtypes are described:[2]

  • Pigmented DFSP (Bednar tumour).
  • Myxoid DFSP.
  • Myoid DFSP.
  • Granular cell DFSP.
  • Sclerotic DFSP.
  • Atrophic DFSP,
  • Giant cell fibroblastoma.
  • DFSP with fibrosarcomatous areas.

IHC

Panel:[6]

  • CD34 +ve.
    • Usually negative in dermatofibroma.[7][8]
  • Factor XIIIa -ve.
    • Usually positive in dermatofibroma.[7][8]
  • S-100 -ve (screen for melanoma).
  • Caldesmin -ve (screen for muscle differentiation).
  • Beta-catenin. (???)
  • MIB1 (proliferation marker).
    • Should not be confused with MIB-1 a gene that regulates apoptosis.

Molecular

A characteristic translocation is seen:[9] t(17;22)(q22;q15) COLA1/PDGFB.
