Pediatric Oncology Unit, Rambam Medical Center, Haifa, Israel.

Two cases of limb congenital fibrosarcoma are reported. The use of postsurgery chemotherapy allowed conservative surgery in one of them. Wide local excision appears to be the treatment of choice unless the size of the tumor and its anatomic location requires amputation. Additional chemotherapy could shift the surgical approach to one of less radical surgery.
