Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is a soft tissue tumor with high propensity for local recurrence. We present a case of a 53-yearold woman with a recurrent DFSP of the clavicular region. The patient underwent extensive local excision including the external cortical bone of the left clavicle. The resulting large defect was reconstructed using pedicled Latissimus Dorsi myocutaneous flap. The histopathological examination confirmed dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans with clear surgical margins and the patient was satisfied with the final aesthetic result.
