Giant cell fibroblastoma recurring as dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans

Am J Surg Pathol. 1991 Aug;15(8):798-801. doi: 10.1097/00000478-199108000-00011.

Abstract

A case of giant cell fibroblastoma in an 8-year-old child recurred locally 15 years later with the typical picture of dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans. This sequence of events suggests that giant cell fibroblastoma is a juvenile form of dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans.
