Abstract
ABSTRACT
Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans occurs infrequently in the genital area, and a few cases have been reported in the literature. This type of sarcoma, although it has a relatively low metastatic potential, has a tendency to recur locally. The present study deals with a 76-year-old woman with dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans of the mons pubis. She underwent a wide local excision of the tumor. No recurrence of the disease was noted 2 years postoperatively. The above-mentioned surgical procedure seems to be a sufficient treatment for this rare sarcoma, given the biologic nature of the tumor. (J GYNECOL SURG 15:149, 1999)
