Congenital infantile fibrosarcoma (CIF) is a rare tumor in childhood. The 5‐year survival rate for CIFs is high and has been reported between 84% and 93%, but limb‐amputation/disarticulation is still a major problem. We report the case of a male newborn with a mass in his right foot. X‐ray and MRI revealed a mass destroying all tarsal, metatarsal, and phalangeal bones. The patient was treated only with VAC chemotherapy and is able to walk normally. Pediatr Blood Cancer 2010;54:618–620. © 2009 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
