Low-grade fibromyxoid sarcoma (LGFMS) is a rare mesenchymal tumor that is characterized by a benign histology but potentially aggressive clinical behavior, with a high rate of recurrence and metastasis. It primarily occurs in young adults in the extremities, inguinal area, neck, or chest wall. There are rare reports of intracranial LGFMS in adults. In this report, the authors present the case of a 5-year-old girl who presented with a rapidly enlarging frontal scalp mass. Pathological examination of the resected mass demonstrated LGFMS. To the authors' knowledge, this is the only reported case of intracranial LGFMS in a child.

Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans is an uncommon low-grade malignant tumor that can invade locally and rarely metastasize. Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans has a high rate of local recurrence due to incomplete excision, especially in deep tissues. Morbidity is often related to multiple local recurrences and removal of excessive tissue with large, complex repairs. We present a case of incompletely excised dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans after initial wide local excision. We subsequently employed a “deep” vertical Mohs micrographic surgical technique to remove the remaining tumor while creating a flap with the tumor-free superficial portion to preserve tissue and avoid a complicated repair. The patient is tumor-free for 7 years.
