This relatively rare, low-grade tumor has a high propensity for local recurrence unless it is completely excised. Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans classically progresses slowly as a plaque on the trunk of young adults. It often resembles a scar that is slowly growing over months to years. Because of its rarity and subtle progression, this form of skin cancer will often go undiagnosed for years. Over time, dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans can become invasive into the subcutaneous fat, muscle, fascia, and chest wall. Diagnosis of dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans is made by a core needle or incisional biopsy. Once diagnosed, cure rates approach 100%. The purpose of this article is to review the epidemiology, pathophysiology, clinical features, differential diagnosis, diagnosis, staging, and treatment of dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans. Increasing healthcare providers' awareness about this rare form of skin cancer and its recognition may improve patient outcomes.","PeriodicalId":17315,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Dermatology Nurses' Association","volume":"11 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2023-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72674433","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Over 10 years ago, the World Health Organization and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services proclaimed artificial tanning through tanning beds and sun lamps to be carcinogenic (American Academy of Dermatology, 2022a). In 2014, after multiple proposed bans on indoor tanning, The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) required a black box warning to be placed on all indoor tanning products restricting access to minors (FDA, 2019). Numerous studies have shown a strong link between indoor tanning and premature skin aging, skin cancers, and ocular melanoma (FDA, 2015). Specifically, studies showed that with any reported history of indoor tanning use, the risk of basal and squamous cell carcinomas increased by 24% and 58%, respectively (American Academy of Dermatology, 2022a). In individuals who first used a tanning bed before the age of 35 years, the risk of melanoma—the deadliest form of skin cancer—increased by a startling 75% (Chien & Jacob, 2022). In fact, indoor tanning has led to more cases of skin cancer worldwide than smoking has to lung cancer (Chien & Jacob, 2022; Figure 1).FIGURE 1.: Squamous cell carcinoma on the posterior leg.

Used with permission.Despite the overwhelming evidence of its risks, approximately 7.8 million adults in the United States continued to participate in indoor tanning activities as of 2015 (Guy et al., 2017). Surveys on the global prevalence of indoor tanning between 2013 and 2018 revealed utilization rates of 6.5% for adolescents and 10.4% for adults (American Academy of Dermatology, 2022a). Although these numbers have been declining over time, indoor tanning remains a significant public health threat (Figure 2).FIGURE 2.: Image of an indoor tanning bed. Photo credit: pixel2008.In individuals who desire a sun-tanned appearance, the application of artificial tanning products containing dihydroxyacetone (DHA) may provide a safer alternative to indoor tanning (Misitzis & Weinstock, 2019). DHA is FDA approved for topical skin application but “should not be inhaled, ingested, or exposed to areas covered by mucous membranes” (FDA, 2022). With topical application, DHA triggers the formation of brown pigment in the top layer of skin. This short-term tanned skin effect is eventually removed by the normal skin sloughing process (Wickett, 2005). The increasing availability and use of sunless tanning products prompts questions about their efficacy as a skin cancer risk reduction measure.
