Molecular pathways and therapeutic strategies in dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) [PDF]
Dermatofibrosarcoma Protuberans (DFSP) is a rare soft tissue sarcoma distinguished by its infiltrative growth pattern and recurrence potential. Understanding the molecular characteristics of DFSP is essential for enhancing its diagnosis, prognosis, and ...

MRI-Based Surgical Margin Assessment in Dermatofibrosarcoma Protuberans: Correlation With Pathological Extent. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is a locally aggressive cutaneous tumor characterized by infiltrative growth and a high risk of local recurrence if incompletely excised. Although Mohs micrographic surgery is recommended, wide local excision (WLE) remains widely used in clinical practice; however, the clinical utility of preoperative ...

Angiogenic and Stromal Remodeling Associated With Aggressive Fibrosarcomatous Dermatofibrosarcoma Protuberans [PDF]
FS‐DFSP exhibits coordinated angiogenic and stromal remodeling characterized by immature vascular features, CAF accumulation, and enhanced macrophage infiltration. VEGFA, CCL2, and CXCR4 may contribute to this tumor‐promoting microenvironment. ABSTRACT Although collagen type 1 alpha 1 (COL1A1)–platelet‐derived growth factor B‐chain (PDGFB) gene fusion ...

Autoclosing Excision Design for Dermatofibrosarcoma Protuberans in Slow Mohs Surgery [PDF]
ABSTRACT In DFSP treated with slow Mohs surgery, first‐stage planning is critical given delayed histologic results. The pinch test allows intraoperative assessment of skin mobility, enabling margin tailoring beyond the standard 1–1.3 cm when laxity permits, while preserving primary closure.
