ABSTRACT
We report an extremely rare case of dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans located on the face of an 8-year-old boy. Although dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans typically has intermediate malignancy, the tumor in the present case was highly invasive and required a multistaged operation, including wide resection and full-thickness skin grafting. These operations were successfully performed, and the patient is alive without recurrence for 7 years.
