Abstract excerpt
Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is a tumor of low or intermediate malignant potential with a tendency for recurrence, but low rate of metastasis. The tumorigenesis of DFSP has recently been shown to be associated with the fusion of the collagen type I alpha 1 (COL1A1) and platelet-derived growth factor B-chain (PDGFB) genes, often as a consequence of translocation t(17;22)(q22;q13). Cytogenetically, DFSP...
