Dermatofibrosarcoma is a rare, slow growing tumor with a tendency to local recurrence. The treatment is mainly surgical. In Madagascar there is no specialized center for the management of soft tissue sarcomas. It is in this context that we report a case of a 45-year-old man, driver, presenting with recurrent dermatofibrosarcoma of the left hand. The diagnosis was confirmed by the positivity of the CD34 marker. Extensive local excision surgery was performed with the patient’s consent. After free years of treatment, there is no tumor recurrence.
