DOI: https://doi.org/Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is an uncommon, slow-growing, locally aggressive cutaneous soft tissue sarcoma of fibrohistiocytic origin. Despite its low metastatic potential, DFSP exhibits a high propensity for local recurrence, necessitating early and precise intervention. This report delineates a rare case of DFSP in a 35-year-old male presenting as an asymptomatic, progressive swelling on the left thigh, with a history of antecedent trauma. Diagnostic evaluation, including trucut biopsy and histopathological examination (HPE), confirmed the presence of spindle cells arranged in a storiform pattern, characteristic of DFSP. The patient underwent wide local excision with tumor-free margins, emphasizing the critical role of surgical precision in management. This case underscores the diagnostic challenges, histopathological nuances, and therapeutic imperatives associated with DFSP, while also reviewing contemporary literature to enhance clinical understanding.
