Özet
Objective: Dermatofibroma (DF) is a benign fibrohistiocytic tumor whereas dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) has intermediate malignant potential. CD34 is the most commonly used antibody in differentiating these tumors. Various studies have stated the rates of D2-40 expression as 0-50% in DFSPs and 86-100% in DFs. Our aim in this study was to determine the expression of CD34 and D2-40 in DFs and DFSPs and the possible use of D2-40 in the differential diagnosis of these lesions.
