To determine whether existing patient-education materials for DFSP are accessible and understandable by the general public, we quantitatively assessed the average educational level of online educational articles for DFSP. Dear Editor, Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is a locally aggressive cutaneous soft tissue sarcoma that has been described in all age groups. 1 Although relatively rare, DFSP is a well-described disease with low mortality rate. 1 In its earliest stage, DFSP presents primarily with dermatologic symptoms which include a localized, asymptomatic plaque. 1 Treatment is then initiated with complete surgical resection, typically through wide local excision or Mohs micrographic surgery. 2, 3 Although the overall mortality rate is low, the rate of growth of the tumor can accelerate if not diagnosed early. 2 Furthermore, incomplete excision or resection leads to a high risk for recurrence. As DFSP is characterized by its dermatologic findings, 1 we also categorized authors as dermatologist-written (I ni= 14) or non-dermatologist-written (other)(I ni= 25)(raw data and sources available upon request).[Extracted from the article]Copyright of International Journal of Dermatology is the property of Wiley-Blackwell and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.
