This is the case of a 66 year old female presented with a swelling over left anterior abdominal wall since five years. Further examination of the morphology of the resected surgical specimen, histological and immunohistochemical studies confirmed it to be a dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans over the anterior abdominal wall. It was successfully managed by a wide local excision with an excellent result and a high degree of patient satisfaction was achieved. Though a rare clinical entity, this tumor has chances of high recurrence, and so it should be borne in mind while making a diagnosis and during its long term follow- up. Keywords: CD34, Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans, Imatinib mesylate, Mohs’ microscopic surgery, Soft-tissue sarcoma.
