CONGENITAL FIBROMYXOSARCOMA OF OS CALCIS

[摘要] A case of congenital fibromyxosarcoma involving the os calcis, successfully treated by amputation, is reported. The rare occurrence of bone tumours in the newborn period is noted and a brief review of cases reported in the literature is given. The nature of these tumours, which are of relatively low malignancy, is discussed. Early diagnosis, by roentgen examination and biopsy study, followed by prompt, effective surgical treatment offer the best chance for a successful outcome.
