- Abstract
Dear Editor, Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is a rare cutaneous neoplasm that rarely metastasizes, although local relapses are common. Moreover, a common skin tumour in horses, the equine sarcoid, which is clinically and histopathologically similar to DFSP, is linked to bovine papillomavirus (BPV) type 1 or 2 infection.[1] Additionally, lymphoproliferative disorders involving chromosomal translocations have been related to viruses such as the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) in Burkitt lymphoma. HTS was considered a more useful method than classical human papillomavirus (HPV) detection techniques in DFSP, as any papillomavirus from various species or any other virus able to induce fibroblast proliferation could have been involved.
