Primary congenital infantile fibrosarcoma of the heart: the first confirmed case

Abstract

We believe this case represents the first confirmed congenital infantile fibrosarcoma (CIFS) of the heart. We describe an infant with congenital infantile fibrosarcoma of the heart who was treated with chemotherapy and who had a life-threatening complication develop that was successfully corrected by surgery. This demonstrates an unusual presentation, remarkable imaging, and diagnostic and treatment dilemmas. More significantly, this emphasizes the importance of a multidisciplinary approach for successful treatment of congenital infantile fibrosarcoma.
