Abstract

Dermatofibrosarcoma of parotid gland is rare. Microscopic examination showed spindle cells arranged in storiform pattern, having monomorphic ovoid nuclei, moderate to abundant eosinophilic cytoplasm with staghorn-shaped blood vessels. Differential diagnosis of solitary fibrous tumour, DFSP, schwannoma, synovial sarcoma were kept and finally Immunohistochemistry solved the dilemma as Vimentin, CD34, STAT-6 & S-100 were applied. Tumor showed Vimentin & CD 34 positivity, while STAT-6 & S-100 were negative.
