Abstract: A 33-year-old male presented with infiltrating plaques on the right anterior chest wall for 10 years and hyperplasia for 1 year. The diagnosis of dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) was made according to the pathological results. Preoperative, the enhanced MRI and high-frequency ultrasound were performed to determine the depth of tumor invasion and the tumor margin respectively. After the contraindications of surgery were excluded ,slow modified Mohs micrographic surgery (smMMS) was used to remove the tumor, and the wound was repaired by intermediate split thickness skin graft. Postoperative recovery was satisfactory without postoperative complications.

Key words: dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans, Mohs micrographic surgery
