ABSTRACT: Dermatofibrosarcoma is a
rare, slow growing tumor with a tendency to local recurrence. The treatment is
mainly surgical. In Madagascar there is no specialized center for the
management of soft tissue sarcomas. It is in this context that we report a case
of a 45-year-old man, driver, presenting with recurrent dermatofibrosarcoma of
the left hand. The diagnosis was confirmed by the positivity of the CD34
marker. Extensive local excision surgery was performed with the patient’s
consent. After free years of treatment, there is no tumor recurrence.
