Case Description: We describe such a case in a 26-year-old male. A wide local excision of the tumor with a generous tissue margin was performed; microscopic and immunohistochemical findings established the diagnosis of recurrent DFSP. Conclusion: Our case is unique in that it is presented as a dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans of the scalp, which is an extremely rare clinical entity, and the patient remains well after 14 months with no further treatment, without any tumor recurrence.","thumbnailUrl":"https://sni-digital-videos.s3.amazonaws.com/articles/3246f890-1f0b-4664-bd2b-9c0b83316f86/featured/hero-1782420817128.png","publishDate":"2014-04-01T00:00:00.000Z","doi":"10.4103/2152-7806.129909","categories":["Original Article"],"fullTextUrl":"https://surgicalneurologyint.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/3928/SNI-5-45.pdf"}
