Abstract

The incidence data for England from 2013 to 2022 indicates that there were 171 cases every year on average, which gives a crude incidence rate of 0.31 per 100 000 person-years and a nonsignificant annual increase of 1.42%, before the COVID-19 pandemic, 2013–2019. Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) has a high 5-year net survival rate of 99.2% and an overall survival rate of 96.5%, which indicates a generally favourable DFSP prognosis once resected.
