  ABSTRACT: Myofibroblastoma and Darier Ferrand’s dermatofibrosarcoma are rare entities that are similar both in terms of clinical morphological characteristics and histological characteristics. We report the case of a 49-year-old non-menopausal woman with a history of right breast lumpectomy. Supported by the Chompret criteria, an oncogenetic consultation was performed. Clinical examination revealed a firm 25 mm mass on the medial part of the left breast with skin involvement. A biopsy was performed and analysis result came back in favor of a cellular type myofibroblastoma showing a fibrous component consisting of spindle cells with a herringbone arrangement. Anatomopathological results concluded to a dermatofibrosarcoma of Darier Ferrand while immunohistochemistry stated a tumor population strongly positive for CD34 expression. The search for a rearrangement of the collagen type I alpha 1 gene (COL1A1) by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) was positive. The diagnosis of Dermatofibrosarcoma of Darier Ferrand can be suspected on imaging and confirmed by histology. Surgical treatment of Darier Ferrand dermatofibrosarcoma consists of wide excision of the lesions with margins greater than 2 cm, on which the prognosis mainly depends. Micrographic surgery and oncoplastic breast surgery are of major interest in this location.
