Abstract
Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) in children is often clinically misdiagnosed as hemangioma or vascular malformation. Ultrasonography and color Doppler imaging are useful noninvasive tools for the diagnosis of skin tumors and may help distinguish DFSP from other vascular skin lesions in children.
