NCI: A fibrosarcoma that is histologically identical to classical fibrosarcoma of adults, but has a much more favorable prognosis. 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.
