Abstract
Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is a low grade, malignant spindle cell tumor with an infiltrative growth pattern and a high rate of local recurrence. This tumor's cell of origin is controversial. DFSP usually presents in adult life and is most frequently located on the trunk and proximal extremities. Although 10% to 15% of cases involve the head and neck, this tumor has not been previously described in the oral cavity.
