This study reviewed current data on the clinical and dermatoscopic features of cutaneous sarcomas (CS) in order to facilitate early diagnosis and prompt management. Based on available reports, CS are characterized by mostly unspecific dermatoscopic patterns. However, dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans, Kaposi's sarcoma, and to a lesser extent, cutaneous angiosarcoma, may display distinct dermatoscopic features for early clinical recognition. In conclusion, dermatoscopy, in conjunction with the overall clinical context, may aid suspicion of CS.
Under the umbrella of cutaneous sarcomas (CS) we include a heterogeneous group of rare, malignant, mesenchymal neoplasia, such as dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans, atypical fibroxanthoma, cutaneous undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma, cutaneous angiosarcoma and leiomyosarcoma. Clinical presentation and histopathological examination are the cornerstone of CS diagnosis and classification. There are scarce data in the literature in regards to the clinical and dermatoscopic characteristics of CS and the role of dermatoscopy in their early identification. We performed a literature review, aiming to summarize current data on the clinical and dermatoscopic presentation of the most common types of cutaneous sarcomas that may facilitate early diagnosis and prompt management. Based on the available published data, CS are characterized by mostly unspecific dermatoscopic patterns. Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans, Kaposi's sarcoma, and in a lesser degree, cutaneous angiosarcoma, may display distinct dermatoscopic features, facilitating their early clinical recognition. In conclusion, dermatoscopy, in conjunction with the overall clinical context, may aid towards suspicion of CS.
