“…Histologically, distinguishing the bony lesion from its soft tissue counterpart is not possible without knowing the origin of the lesion [2,3,11]. This difficulty is expressed in terms such as "aggressive fibromatosis," "differentiated fibrosarcoma," "infantile fibrosarcoma," and "fibrosarcoma-like fibromatosis" being used for all fibroblastic tumors of infancy showing prominent great cellularity and prominent mitotic activity [1,4,6,8,12,25]. Case reports on the solitary infantile desmoid type of fibromatosis of bone are even more rare [5,22].…”

“…In the case of the desmoid type, the propensity to local infiltration and entrapment of vascular and nerve structures often makes complete resection impossible without sacrificing function or entailing the loss of a limb. A similar treatment policy has been proposed for congenital fibrosarcoma (of bone), with a long-term survival rate of about 90% [4,6,12,25]. A similar treatment policy has been proposed for congenital fibrosarcoma (of bone), with a long-term survival rate of about 90% [4,6,12,25].…”

Primary bone tumours in infants

“…Primary bone tumours in infancy are very rare [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20]. The purpose of this paper is to present 10 cases of primary bone tumours in infants observed in six paediatric hospitals.…”
