Abstract
Infantile fibrosarcoma is a rare childhood mesenchymal malignant tumor usually presenting at birth or in the first year of life and affecting the extremities or axial region [1-3]. Morphologically, it closely resembles its adult counterpart but differs by rarely metastasizing and usually having a good prognosis [4,5]. Only 3 previous cases of gastrointestinal infantile fibrosarcoma have been documented; 2 associated with bowel perforation and meconium peritonitis [2,4,5]. We report the first case of infantile fibrosarcoma occurring in the terminal ileum, diagnosed and operated on before bowel perforation or other complications.
