Abstract
INTRODUCTION: A multi-institutional study was conducted by the Children's Cancer Group (CCG) to evaluate all soft tissue sarcomas diagnosed within the first month of life.
METHODS: A retrospective study by 11 CCG institutions of patient records from 1971 to 1991 were reviewed for demographic data, pathology, therapy, and outcome.
RESULTS: 32 neonates with soft tissue sarcomas were identified. There were 21 boys and 11 girls. Pathology was equally divided into three groups: Congenital fibrosarcoma (CFS) (12), rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) (11), and non-RMS soft tissue sarcomas (NRSTS) (9). Anatomic sites consisted of head/neck (11), extremity (9), trunk (8), pelvis (3), and unknown (2). Overall survival rate was 59% (19/32).
CONCLUSION: Soft tissue sarcomas in the neonate comprise three general groups with survival rates dependent on pathology and extent of disease.
