Pleomorphic dermal sarcoma presenting in a child with Li-Fraumeni syndrome: A case report and review of the literature

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Pleomorphic dermal sarcoma (PDS) is an uncommon malignant soft-tissue tumor that occurs mostly in elderly patients, with only 5% of cases occurring in children. However, pediatric patients with Li-Fraumeni syndrome (LFS) can develop several types of cancer, particularly sarcomas. Here, we describe a young LFS patient who presented with early-onset PDS and review the literature.
