Abstrakt: BA Masri, QR Son-Hing, R Beauchamp. Aggressive soft tissue tumours of infancy. Can J Plast Surg 1994;2(2):81-84. Three cases of aggressive congenital soft tissue musculoskeletal neoplasms are presented. Two of these cases are congenital alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma of the foot. The third case is an infantile hemangiopericytoma of the thigh. These are rare conditions that should always be kept in mind when faced with a young infant with a mass in his or her limbs. Appropriate diagnosis and treatment are of paramount importance in these rare tumours. The management of these tumours is outlined and the pertinent literature reviewed.
