Article Abstract
Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans is a rare soft tissue sarcoma with a high recurrence rate. Herein, we present 68Ga-FAPI and 18F-FDG PET/CT findings of dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans in a 45-year-old man. Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans only shows limited FDG uptakes on 18F-FDG PET/CT, but demonstrated intense tracer uptakes on 68Ga-FAPI PET/CT. In this case, 68Ga-FAPI was superior to 18F-FDG PET/CT in detecting dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans.

Recurrent dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) of the anterior chest wall in elderly patients presents a complex reconstructive challenge, necessitating approaches that balance oncological radicality with minimized morbidity and optimal tissue quality for potential adjuvant radiotherapy. We report the case of an 84-year-old woman with an eighth recurrence of chest wall DFSP. Following wide local excision with clear margins, a significant soft tissue defect remained.

Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is a rare soft tissue sarcoma with a generally low risk for metastasis. Most individuals are diagnosed with this neoplasm in the third or fourth decade of life, with the growth usually being no larger than 5 cm in maximum diameter at the time of diagnosis. The majority of these patients are treated with wide local excision, with most experiencing no recurrence or metastasis.

Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is a neoplasm of the dermis with a tendency for aggressive local growth and recurrence. A minority of DFSP cases may transform into higher-grade sarcoma (fibrosarcomatous transformation, FST-DFSP) which is associated with more aggressive behavior and risk of metastasis. The histologic diagnosis of FST-DFSP may be challenging, particularly in small biopsies.
