Supplementary Material for: Additional Wide Resection of Infantile Dermatofibrosarcoma Protuberans after Unplanned Excision: A Case Report

Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is a locally aggressive intermediate soft tissue neoplasm that occurs in the dermis. DFSP generally occurs in young to middle-aged adults and rarely in infancy. Because of its extreme rarity, DFSP is difficult to diagnose and treat, especially when it occurs in infancy. In this paper, we reported a case of infantile DFSP in which we performed additional wide resection with a 3-cm horizontal margin for a mass that had previously undergone unplanned excision. No tumor recurrence has been seen for 3 years postoperatively. We suggest that the possibility of DFSP should always be considered when an enlarging superficial mass is identified on the trunk, even in an infant. Additionally, radical local treatment is as important for DFSP in infancy as it is for DFSP in adults, even after unplanned excision.
