Dear Editor, Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is a soft tissue neoplasm of intermediate malignancy characterized by a pattern of slow, infiltrative growth and a marked tendency to recur locally after surgical excision. 1 We experienced a case of DFSP who had several recurrences and surgeries in the 20 years after the first surgical excision, and we present his longterm clinical history and pathological changes such as its atypicality and CD34 expression. A 28-year-old man was seen at our hospital due to a subcutaneous tumor in the region of his left eyebrow. He told us that he had received excision therapy on the same lesion 8 years before. On physical examination, he was found to be asymptomatic, and the tumor was a round and hard nodule 1.5 cm in diameter. The wide resection of tumor was performed, and reconstructed by a skin graft. The tumor had histological signs of DFSP in that slender spindle cells were arranged in a district storiform pattern in the dermis. Histological margins were negative for tumor cells.However, the tumor was recurrent under the skin graft after 1 year and the second total resection in our hospital was performed. In spite of total resection, recurrent lesions arose on the right forehead on the outer side of the skin graft after 11 years. A third tumor resection was performed with reconstruction by skin graft. Histological margins were negative for tumor cells. After 16 years from the first surgical excision in our clinic, the tumor appeared again on the left cheek. These lesions were treated by a simple resection (the fourth) following the patient’s wish. Nineteen years after his first visit (47 years of age), the tumor on the left cheek had continued to grow slowly, and a
