Résumé

Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is a rare skin tumor. There is no standard recommendation for its surgical management. The currently used histological analysis are HES (hematoxylin eosin saffron) staining and immunohistochemistry for CD34 expression in particular cases. Fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) technique is only used to qualify the DFSP as translocated or non-translocated and is not used as a diagnostic method. The aim of our study was to determine by FISH (as a diagnostic method) whether cancerous cells that could not be identified through HES staining±immunohistochemistry were present at the two-centimeter margins that were found to be tumor-free.
