Dermatofibrosarcoma Protuberans (DFSP)
Symptoms
What does DFSP do to a person's body?
DFSP causes growths in the skin that eventually grow into bulging masses that may become tender and bleed. The most common locations are the trunk, the arms and legs, and the head and neck. Unlike many other types of cancer, DFSP rarely spreads to other parts of the body. However, it may grow very aggressively in the skin.
