Abstract
Infantile fibrosarcoma is rare and represents less than 1 % of all childhood cancers. Commonly, it arises in the limbs followed by the trunk and head and neck. We present a rare case of infantile fibrosarcoma of trunk at two different sites in a newborn with brief review of the relevant literature.
