Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans is an uncommon slow-growing cutaneous neoplasm. Surgical excision is an effective therapeutic approach although a significant number of local recurrences has been documented in the literature. In the present paper the Authors report 3 cases of dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans. All cases have been surgically treated with a wide local excision extended up to 3 cm from the tumor borders. No local recurrence has been reported. The Authors conclude that the surgical technique employed could reduce the local recurrence rate of dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans.

Abstract
Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans is an uncommon slow-growing cutaneous neoplasm. Surgical excision is an effective therapeutic approach although a significant number of local recurrences has been documented in the literature. In the present paper the Authors report 3 cases of dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans. All cases have been surgically treated with a wide local excision extended up to 3 cm from the tumor borders. No local recurrence has been reported. The Authors conclude that the surgical technique employed could reduce the local recurrence rate of dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans.File in questo prodotto:
