Congenital infantile fibrosarcoma of the forearm

Abstract

Congenital infantile fibrosarcoma is a rare soft tissue neoplasm in the infant of which only a few cases are reported as congenital. This tumor has a rapid growth and extensive local invasion, but metastasis rarely occurs. Distal extremities involvement is more common and metastasis are rare. We report a case of a congenital infantile fibrosarcoma of the forearm, which was initially confused with a hemangioma, treated successfully by surgical resection.
