Its slow development and its banal clinical appearance often cause diagnostic delays, especially when the tumor is located in covered areas. The reference treatment is wide resection. We report a case of giant chest wall DFS. The discordance between the impressive tumor volume and the limited deep invasion is the peculiarity of this case report.<br />A conservative treatment, a wide resection, and a split-thickness skin graft could be undertaken. With a follow-up of two years, the carcinological, functional, and aesthetic results are very satisfactory.</p> ER -
