congenital fibrosarcoma - (pronounced) (kun-JEH-nih-tul FY-broh-sar-KOH-muh) A type of cancer that forms in fibrous (connective) tissue. Congenital fibrosarcoma usually occurs in infants and young children, but it can also be detected by ultrasound before birth. It can occur anywhere in the body. The tumor is often large and fast-growing but rarely spreads to other parts of the body. The cancer cells usually have a specific genetic change called a translocation (part of one chromosome swaps places with part of another chromosome). Congenital fibrosarcoma is a type of soft tissue sarcoma. Also called infantile fibrosarcoma
