Congenital (infantile) fibrosarcoma is a rare soft tissue sarcoma occurring in children aged less than 5 years. We performed cytogenetic analysis on such a tumor, which had an abnormal karyotype: 48,XY, +11, +20. Three other reports of karyotypes in congenital fibrosarcoma describe similar cytogenetic changes, and a specific pattern of trisomies that may prove diagnostic for this tumor is beginning to emerge.

Progressive and recurrent dermatofibrosarcoma, described by Darier and Ferrand in 1924, is a fibrous skin tumour with essentially local malignancy. The authors report a case with pulmonary metastasis, a rare event as only 13 cases of visceral metastases have been reported in the literature. The clinical course of this case was favourable (follow-up of 5 years), in contrast with the usually pejorative nature of metastatic disease (death after several months to one year following the discovery of the first metastasis).
