DFSP is an uncommon soft tissue tumor that involves the dermis, subcutaneous fat, and, in rare cases, muscle and fascia. Diagnosis is made via skin biopsy (1). Tumors occur most often in adults in the third to fifth decades of life but have rarely been reported in the pediatric population. The prevalence of DFSP before 20 years of age is 1.0 per million (2).
Although most of the nodules are usually benign in pediatric patients, if the lesions are resistant to treatment and have an atypical clinical appearance, further examinations should be performed in terms of malignancy.
