There was no difference in oncologic outcome comparing MMS with WLE for DFSP outside the head and neck. The goal of treatment for DFSP is to achieve a negative margin, regardless of surgical treatment modalities. A 'less is more' approach to follow-up can likely be taken for patients with completely resected DFSP in easy-to-examine anatomical areas. In these patients, no formal follow-up should be required.
