However, the suprapubic region as its location further adds to its unusual persona.Case: A 51 year old gentleman presented with a slow growing suprapubic lesion, which on clinical and laboratory evaluation was confirmed to be a Dermatofibrosarcoma Protuberans, subsequently managed adequately with wide excision and groin flap coverage.Conclusion: Dermatofibrosarcoma Protuberans, in itself, is a rare entity and the suprapubic region as its location further adds to the unknown persona of the condition. Thus, the importance of maintaining a vigil for DFSP even at the most unusual sites, for optimal and timely diagnosis and management. As is rightly said, “What the mind knows, is what the eyes see”
