It occurs in infants and young children, metastasizes rarely and is morphologically and genetically related to congenital mesoblastic nephroma. Most infantile fibrosarcomas have the chromosomal translocation t(12;15)(p13;q26).,NCI: A fibrosarcoma, occurring in infants and young children, sharing identical morphologic features with adult fibrosarcoma.
