Abstract
BACKGROUND: Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) has conventionally been treated with wide local excision. More recently Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) has been advocated. OBJECTIVES: To assess our departmental experience with DFSP in the context of a literature review relating to DFSP treated with MMS. METHODS: This was a case review of 35 patients with DFSP treated between 1998 and 2009 with MMS using paraffin-embedded sections. RESULTS: Seventeen patients required one horizontal layer to clear their tumour, 10 patients needed two and eight patients needed three layers or more. The median preoperative clinical size was 6 cm(2) (range 0·75-54·8) and the median postoperative wound size was 46·8 cm(2) (range 4-145·2). Tumour persistence has not been observed in any of our patients after a median follow-up duration of 29·5 months (range 6-146). CONCLUSIONS: We present 35 DFSP patients, none of whom showed persistent tumour after treatment with 'slow' MMS using paraffin sections. We advocate MMS as the treatment of choice for DFSP, especially for tumours over the head and neck region where tissue conservation is particularly important.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
