Congenital Infantile Fibrosarcoma – A Potentially Fatal Condition

Congenital infantile fibrosarcoma (CIF) is a rare prenatal malignant tumour that occurs in infants and can be difficult to distinguish from vascular malformation or haemangiomas. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for saving both limb and life. We report a 4-month-old infant with CIF of the left forearm and arm which presented with a bleeding ulcer over the swelling. During admission, the child developed disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) necessitating a life-saving above-elbow amputation. <b>Level of Evidence:</b> Level V (Therapeutic).

Abstract

Congenital infantile fibrosarcoma (CIF) is a rare prenatal malignant tumour that occurs in infants and can be difficult to distinguish from vascular malformation or haemangiomas. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for saving both limb and life. We report a 4-month-old infant with CIF of the left forearm and arm which presented with a bleeding ulcer over the swelling. During admission, the child developed disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) necessitating a life-saving above-elbow amputation. <b>Level of Evidence:</b> Level V (Therapeutic).
