Insights
Infantile fibrosarcoma, a rare infant cancer primarily affecting lower limbs, requires early diagnosis and surgical treatment. This case highlights fetal development of the disease in a newborn.
Area of Science:
- Pediatric Oncology
- Surgical Oncology
- Developmental Biology
Background:
- Infantile fibrosarcoma is a rare malignant tumor predominantly affecting infants.
- Lower limb localization is most common in infantile fibrosarcoma.
- Early clinical and instrumental diagnostics are crucial prognostic factors.
Abstract:
Infantile fibrosarcoma is a malignant tumor, which is most common in infants, preferentially localized in the lower limbs. An important prognostic factor of the disease is early diagnostics, both clinical and instrumental. The operative treatment of infantile fibrosarcoma is a leading treatment method. The article describes a clinical case of infantile fibrosarcoma in a newborn with fetal development of the disease.
