| Naso-maxillary dermatofibrosarcoma is a rare clinical condition in our environment. We present an unusual and first ever case of dermatofibrosarcoma of the nose and its attendant surgical challenges in a resource limited setting. A 24year old female presented at the outpatient clinic of the department of otorhinolaryngology of the Usmanu Danfodiyo University Teaching Hospital Sokoto in November 2012. She had a 2-year history of progressively increasing painless swelling on the left naso-maxillary region of the face, associated with complete left nasal obstruction. Physical examination shows facial asymmetry with a huge, firm, ulcerative, pedunculated mass on the left nasomaxillary region of the midface with intranasal extension. Plain radiographs of the paranasal sinuses show no bony involvement. She had complete tumor excision with good oncological margins. Histopathological analysis of the tissue confirmed dermatofibrosarcoma protuberance. Patient had no recurrence after 4 years. |
