ABSTRACT

A 13-year-old boy presented an atrophic erythematous patch of vascular appearence on his lumbar area, which corresponded to a dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans, however, it showed multiple blood vessels of different sizes.
The atrophic dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans is considered a clinical variant that is more frequent in children. Its diagnosis is usually delayed because the uncommon clinical picture and the less tendency to perform biopsies in children. In addition, our case is exceptional because of the conspicuous vascular proliferation.
