Bednar tumour is a pigmented variant of dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP), constituting 1 to 5% of all DFSPs, which in turn, represent 0.1% of skin malignancies. It is histopathologically characterised by scattered melanosome-containing dendritic cells within an otherwise typical DFSP. Bednar tumour poses a clinical diagnostic challenge and requires histopathological and immunohistochemical examination to arrive at the correct diagnosis. We report a case of Bednar tumour occurring on the shoulder of a 29-year-old male.
