Clinical as well as radiologic diagnosis of infantile fibrosarcoma (IFS) is often a challenging problem due to similarities with tumors of vascular origin. Consequently, in the majority of cases, histological and immunohistochemical studies are considered gold standards for the final diagnosis. The two case reports and the review of literature discussed should increase the important features in the history and the presentation that increase the index of suspicion for IFS, as well as it highlights the important characteristics of imaging and laboratory studies that confirm its diagnosis.
由于婴儿纤维肉瘤(IFS)与血管源性肿瘤相似,其临床及放射学诊断常常是一个具有挑战性的问题。因此,在大多数情况下,组织学和免疫组化研究被认为是最终诊断的金标准。所讨论的两例病例报告及文献综述应能增加病史和临床表现中的重要特征,这些特征会提高对IFS的怀疑指数,同时也突出了有助于确诊IFS的影像学和实验室研究的重要特征。
