Primary brain fibrosarcoma treatment in a child showed that surgical resection followed by radiation therapy is more effective than chemotherapy. Early radiotherapy after surgery is recommended for aggressive fibrosarcoma tumors.

Area of Science:

  • Neuro-oncology
  • Pediatric oncology
  • Surgical oncology

Background:

  • Primary brain fibrosarcomas are exceptionally rare and aggressive pediatric tumors.
  • Limited data exists on optimal treatment strategies for these rare brain tumors.
  • This case highlights the management of a challenging pediatric central nervous system fibrosarcoma.

Observation:

  • A 13-year-old boy presented with a left temporo-parietal fibrosarcoma.
  • Initial treatment involved complete surgical resection followed by adjuvant chemotherapy.
  • Tumor relapse occurred after chemotherapy, necessitating further intervention.

Findings:

  • Subsequent radiation therapy led to progressive tumor shrinkage.
  • A second surgery revealed post-treatment gliosis, not recurrent tumor.

  • The patient achieved long-term survival (44 months) after multimodal therapy.

    • Implications:

    • Complete surgical resection is a critical first step in treating brain fibrosarcomas.
    • Radiation therapy is a vital component of adjuvant treatment for pediatric fibrosarcoma.
    • The sequence of therapy is crucial: prioritize radiation over chemotherapy post-resection.
