Summary
The purpose of this proposed study is to assess effectiveness of MOHS micrographic surgery as a form of treatment for dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans in patients who are 10 years of age or younger through review of the patients at Mayo Clinic treated from 1988-2017, and to explore the challenges that providers face which may prevent them performing this potentially superior treatment. This study will provide a comparison of outcomes and recurrence rates in pediatric patients treated by MOHS versus traditional excision.
