The various treatment modalities of dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans

摘要

We have read, with great interest, an article published in the Dermatology Online Journal by Patel et al. entitled “Report of rare case of dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans in the buccal mucosa: review of diagnostic, histopathological, and immunohistochemical criteria” [1]. In this paper, the authors report on a rare case of dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) found within the oral mucosa of a patient. The authors also do an excellent job of reviewing the diagnostic, histopathological, and immunohistochemical criteria for DFSP. In addition to understanding diagnostic nuance, it is also important for physicians to be aware of the various treatment modalities for DFSP to educate patients in the decision-making process. This letter is written to briefly discuss the various potential treatment options for DFSP.
