Comparison of Surgical Treatment Using Mohs Micrographic Surgery versus Wide Local Excision for the Treatment of Dermatofibrosarcoma Protuberans.
Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is a rare, locally aggressive, soft-tissue sarcoma. The treatment is surgical and includes wide local excision (WLE) or Mohs micrographic Surgery (MMS). There is no consensus regarding the preferred type of surgery. ⋯ MMS enables better tissue preservation and results in a minor surgical defect compared to WLE, with no difference in tumor recurrence between the two methods.
