Abstract

In distinction to their soft tissue counterparts, indolent biologic tendencies render the cutaneous sarcomas amenable to excisional therapy including Mohs therapy. This chapter will examine the dermal sarcomas including atypical fibroxanthoma (AFX), leiomyosarcoma (LS), dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) and angiosarcoma (AS).
