Expert Care by Dr. Shivpal Saini – Best Oncologist in Jaipur
Dermatofibrosarcoma Protuberans (DFSP) is a rare type of soft tissue sarcoma that arises from the skin and underlying tissues. Although DFSP grows slowly, it is locally aggressive and has a high risk of recurrence if not treated properly. Early diagnosis and complete surgical excision are crucial for long-term cure.
At Jaipur, Dr. Shivpal Saini, a highly experienced and trusted oncologist, offers advanced surgical management of DFSP, including wide local excision followed by Latissimus Dorsi (LD) flap reconstruction, ensuring both cancer control and optimal functional and cosmetic outcomes.
What is DFSP (Dermatofibrosarcoma Protuberans)?
DFSP is a low-grade soft tissue sarcoma that typically appears as a painless, slow-growing lump on the trunk, limbs, or shoulder region. Over time, it can invade deeper layers such as muscles and fascia.
Common Symptoms of DFSP:
Firm or raised skin lump
Gradual increase in size
Skin discoloration over the lesion
Rarely painful but locally invasive
Because DFSP tends to send microscopic extensions into surrounding tissue, incomplete surgery can lead to recurrence, making expert oncologic surgery essential.
Importance of Wide Local Excision in DFSP
The gold standard treatment for DFSP is wide local excision with clear margins. This means removing the tumor along with a margin of healthy tissue to minimize the risk of recurrence.
Under the expertise of Dr. Shivpal Saini, DFSP excision is performed with:
Accurate tumor margin assessment
Oncologically safe surgical techniques
Focus on long-term disease control
In cases where large tissue removal is required, reconstruction becomes a vital part of treatment.
LD Flap Reconstruction After DFSP Surgery
When DFSP excision results in a large defect, especially over the chest wall, back, shoulder, or trunk, Latissimus Dorsi (LD) flap reconstruction is an excellent reconstructive option.
What is an LD Flap?
The Latissimus Dorsi flap uses muscle, skin, and blood supply from the back to cover the surgical defect. It provides:
Excellent tissue coverage
Reliable blood supply
Faster wound healing
Good functional and cosmetic results
Dr. Shivpal Saini works with advanced oncoplastic techniques to ensure that cancer removal and reconstruction are done in a single, well-planned procedure whenever possible.
