Dermatofibrosarcoma Protuberance (DFSP) of Parotid Gland – A Case Report

Abstract

Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is a rare slow-growing low-grade dermal sarcoma typically found on the chest or proximal extremities. Uncommon sites include the head, face, and neck area. This tumor is locally invasive but has low distant metastasis. DFSP shows CD34 immuno-reactivity and hence required tissue biopsy for diagnosis. The case describes an unusual occurrence of dermatofibrosarcoma protuberance arising from the parotid gland.
