SummaryDermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is a rare low-grade sarcoma that typically presents with local invasion but rarely metastasises. Surgical excision remains the first-line treatment for DFSP. There are no randomised controlled or prospective studies comparing wide local excision (WLE) with Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS), but available evidence from the retrospective studies and case series available has consistently shown higher recurrence rates for standard surgery and WLE than for MMS. Combined recurrence rates of data within the last 20 years for WLE have been reported at 7.3% compared with 1.1% for MMS. Our aim was to review the clinical details and recurrence rates of DFSP cases treated with frozen-section MMS in our centre between 1996 and February 2013. The relevant data were collected from the case notes. It involved 76 patients with nine of these patients lost to follow-up. In the remaining 67 (67/76) cases, the recurrence rate was 1.5% during the mean follow-up period of 50 months (2-132). This is comparable to recurrence rates for the MMS in the literature [20,21]. Our series is the largest series for frozen-section MMS reported to date.Based on these findings and the current literature evidence, we advocate MMS as the treatment of choice for DFSP in all locations.
