Abstract
Darier Ferrand dermatofibrosarcoma is a low-grade superficial fibroblastic tumor with a storiform architecture. It is characterized by its local aggressiveness and low metastatic potential. We report a retrospective study spread over a period from January 2019 to July 2024 and involving 27 cases collected at the Mohammed VI University Hospital in Marrakech. Our series showed a sex ratio M/F of 1.4 with an average age of our patients at the time of diagnosis was 31.7 years with extremes of age between 68 and 21 years. The buttock and thigh were the predominant location observed in 55.6% (15 patients), the thorax 18.5% (5 cases), the leg 14.8% (4 cases), the face 3 ,7% (1 case), the back (1 case) and the vulva (1 case). The aim of this work is to report the experience of the Mohammed VI University Hospital and to discuss the related literature on the epidemiological and anatomopathological characteristics.
