Abstract
Two cases of limb congenital fibrosarcoma are reported. The use of pos tsurgery chemotherapy allowed conservative surgery in one of them. Wid e local excision appears to be the treatment of choice unless the size of the tumor and its anatomic location requires amputation. Additiona l chemotherapy could shift the surgical approach to one of less radica l surgery.
