Congenital-infantile fibrosarcoma: imaging features and differential diagnoses

Abdominal wall congenital infantile fibrosarcoma: A rare case report and literature review

“…Fibrosarcoma is an intermediate-grade locally aggressive mesenchymal neoplasm of proliferating fibroblasts [ 5 , 8 ]. It primarily affects adults, with over 80% of the patients diagnosed above 20 years of age [9] . However, it also manifests in children under 2 years, with approximately one-third of these cases being congenital [ 10 , 11 ].…”

“…Sonographic studies of infantile fibrosarcoma often reveal a heterogeneous echogenic mass, with Doppler imaging showing hypervascularity resembling high-outflow soft tissue tumors like hemangioma. Cross-sectional imaging further aids in defining these tumors and their relationship to adjacent organs, thereby guiding management decisions [ 8 , 9 , 11 ]. Magnetic resonant imaging is considered superior to CT and is the preferred modality [ 8 , 13 ].…”
