    Abstract : Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) and giant cell fibroblastoma (GCF) are rare invasive tumors of the dermis. GCF is considered the juvenile form of DFSP. Both DFSP and GCF are characterized by the presence of chromosomal aberrations involving chromosomes 17 and 22. READ MORE

  5. 3. Paracrine and autocrine functions of PDGF in malignant disease
