Abstract Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans with fibrosarcomatous transformation (DFSP‐FS) is a rare variant, with higher rates of recurrence and metastasis than DFSP. Detection of the collagen type I alpha 1 (COL1A1)-platelet‐derived growth factor beta chain (PDGFB) fusion gene is useful for the diagn...
