Fibrosarcoma: This is a malignancy of soft tissues that derives from connective tissue. It can be low grade to high grade. It can be found in adults usually middle age and infants(congenital infantile fibrosarcoma). Treatment generally involves surgery to remove the tumor +/- radiation. Chemotherapy can also be used in metastatic or unresectable settings.
