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

General

  • Dermal location.
  • Destroys adnexal structures.
  • Occasionally transforms to a (more aggressive) fibrosarcoma.[1]

Treatment:[2]

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

Gross

Features:[3]

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

Images:

Microscopic

Features:[2]

  • 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.

IHC

Panel:[5]

  • CD34 +ve.
    • Usually negative in dermatofibroma.[6][7]
  • Factor XIIIa -ve.
    • Usually positive in dermatofibroma.[6][7]
  • S100 -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:[8] t(17;22)(q22;q15) COLA1/PDGFB.
