Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans is a locally aggressive sarcoma of intermediate malignancy that predominates in the range of young adults to middle age. Congenital or childhood lesions are rare but have been reported. It can be misdiagnosed and incompletely excised in the early stages, which increases the risk of recurrence. The present article reports the case of a 24-year-old male patient presenting a hyperchromic macula in the abdominal region from birth that evolved into a tumor after several surgical approaches. Biopsy and immunohistochemistry confirmed the diagnosis of dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans, and the lesion was excised with a 3 cm margin.
