Year: 2025
Type: article
Study design: Case Report
Abstract: Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans is a rare, locally aggressive sarcoma of the skin in children and adults, usually involving the trunk and extremities and less commonly the head and neck. Despite clinical reports in the literature on the management of dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans, there are limited articles describing its imaging features, we report a case of a child presenting with a swelling above the right clavicular for the past year. An MRI was performed, revealing a mass above the clavicle initially suggestive a vascular tumor. A surgical excision was conducted, identifying a dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans.
