[Differences between plaque-like variants of dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans and plaque-like dermal fibromatosis (dermatomyofibroma)].

Abstract

On the basis of two cases the differences between the plaque-like variant of dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (PDFSP) and the plaque-like dermal fibromatosis (synonym: dermatomyofibroma; PDF) are presented. PDFSP and PDF are two clinically very similar dermal fibrous proliferations, but differentiation is important because of their different therapy and prognosis. Histologically and immunohistochemically PDFSP and PDF can be recognized as separate entities.
