Abstract
We report a case of 42-year-old man with dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) arising on his right cheek. Histopathological findings of an excised specimen revealed typical striform appearances and atypism of neoplastic cells. They were also positive for vimentin and CD34. The wound was reconstructed using a free forearm flap, and no tumor recurrence has been observed 9 months after tumor resection. The face is a relatively rare location of DFSP.
