In this case-report we highlight an instance of DFSP arising from a keloid scar de novo and present a reconstruction with a local pedicled LD flap. We subsequently appraise the related literature and discuss the diagnostic challenges. Keywords: Case report, Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans, Keloid scar, Latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flap |
