  • Title: A case of congenital infantile fibrosarcoma of sigmoid colon manifesting as pneumoperitoneum in a newborn.
    Author: Kim HY, Cho YH, Byun SY, Park KH.
    Journal: J Korean Med Sci; 2013 Jan; 28(1):160-3. PubMed ID: 23341728.
    Abstract:
    Congenital infantile fibrosarcoma (CIF) is a rare soft-tissue tumor in the pediatric age group and seldom involves the gastrointestinal tract. A 2-day-old boy was transferred to our hospital with a pneumpoperitoneum. After emergency operation, we could find a solid mass wrapping around a sigmoid colon and performed a segmental resection of sigmoid colon including a mass. Histopathologic examination showed an infantile fibrosarcoma origining from the muscular layer of colon. The baby was discharged on the 17th hospital day and followed for 1 yr without recurrence.
