- Abstract
Background: Owing to its rarity, dermato - fibrosarcoma protuberance (DFSP) is often inappropriately excised. After unplanned excision (UE), additional excision is commonly performed. We aimed to elucidate the effect of additional excision after UE. Patients and Methods: We examined 306 patients with primary DFSP. We analyzed surgical outcomes in 291 patients who received planned excision (PE) or additional excision after UE. Results: Of 306 patients, 194 received PE and the remaining 112 received UE. Of 112 patients, 97 received additional excision after UE. Additional surgery due to complications was more frequent in patients with UE than in those with PE. The 5- year local recurrence-free rate in patients without additional excision after UE was significantly worse than that in those with additional excision after UE. Conclusion: If UE is performed, we recommend additional excision for preventing local recurrence; however, the surgical wound should be carefully observed.
