“…In fact, most reports on the prenatal diagnosis of CIF involve tumors in the limbs and trunk rather than the sacrococcygeal region. Similar to our case, prenatal MRI showed the fibrosarcomas to be isointense to muscle or placenta on T1‐weighted images, and hypo‐ to isointense on T2‐weighted images …”

“…Similar to our case, prenatal MRI showed the fibrosarcomas to be isointense to muscle or placenta on T1-weighted images, and hypo-to isointense on T2-weighted images. 5 In the present case, the tumor, which was derived from the sacrococcygeal region, initially resembled an SCT. However, subsequent sonographic examination revealed that the tumor diagnosis was not consistent with SCT in terms of the following features: (i) left side laterality; (ii) hypervascularity, with feeding vessels that were not easily identifiable; (iii) absence of cystic regions in the tumor (mixed echoic pattern); and (iv) the fact that the tumor was capsulized with skin.…”

“…Reports on the prenatal diagnosis of CIF are scarce. While there have been some reports of the prenatal diagnosis of CIF using a combination of ultrasonography and MRI, the precise sonographic findings have not been previously described. Only one report of the prenatal sonographic diagnosis of CIF was found; however, in this case the tumor was not in the sacrococcygeal region .…”

“…Congenital infantile fibrosarcoma (CIF) is a rare soft tissue tumor; however, the prognosis is good even though it is a malignant pathology . There are some reports of prenatal diagnosis of CIF with combination use of both ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI); however, there are no reports on the prenatal diagnosis of CIF originating from sacrococcygeal region by ultrasonography alone. Furthermore, we were able to find only one previous report regarding the prenatal sonographic findings of CIF in the English‐language reports…”

We experienced an extremely rare case of congenital infantile fibrosarcoma originating from the fetal sacrococcygeal region in pregnancy. At first, we suspected fetal sacrococcygeal teratoma; however, the following ultrasonography findings of the tumor complicated this diagnosis: (i) laterality; (ii) no cystic component; (iii) hypervascularity, with the feeding vessels not derived from the middle sacral artery; and (iv) a skin covering. The pathological findings indicated that the tumor was an infantile fibrosarcoma, not a teratoma. Thus, we believe that these sonographic features may aid the prenatal diagnosis of congenital infantile fibrosarcoma, which, in turn, may contribute to a better prognosis and may be useful for parental counseling.

Infantile fibrosarcoma (IFS) is a rare nonrhabdomyosarcoma soft tissue tumor and accounts for less than 1% of childhood cancers. Forty per cent are present at birth and only 10% of IFS occurs in the abdomen. Our case of neonatal fibrosarcoma presented as a distal small bowel stenosis complicated with meconium peritonitis. The diagnosis was by histology of the surgical resection. The diagnosis of IFS is challenging as there are no specific features of IFS on imaging. Any unexpected solid lesion should raise the suspicion of complicated bowel tumoral lesion. If a neoplastic lesion is suspected extensive, surgery may be postponed until the final diagnosis is made.
