Fibrosarcoma is uncommon in the head and neck and constitutes less than 1% of malignancies and approximately 6% of the soft tissue sarcomas. Congenital fibrosarcomas are characterized by rapid proliferation and frequent local recurrence following excision. Unlike other sarcomas, metastasis is a rare event. The literature contains less than 50 cases of congenital, solitary fibrosarcoma, with none occurring in the oral cavity. This paper describes a unique case of fibrosarcoma in the oral cavity of a neonate. A 12 month follow-up is provided with an analysis of the histopathology including electron microscopy. The spectrum of fibroproliferative lesions in the pediatric patient is reviewed, and the evaluation and treatment modalities applicable to this age group are outlined.
