Abstract
This report focuses on the clinical course and treatment of an infant male who had a progressively enlarging tongue mass initially thought to be an infantile hemangioma but was later found to be an infantile fibrosarcoma. Treatment included surgical excision with anticipated difficult mask ventilation with active rhino/enterovirus infection bronchiolitis and recent croup. Complete surgical excision is the mainstay of treatment, and the patient did have negative margins after complete surgical re-excision. The patient has surveillance MRI scans and remains without fibrosarcoma recurrence. This case report highlights complex pediatric airway management and the need for vigilance in healthcare when common presentations, such as infantile hemangioma, also present with a concurrent rare disease at a different anatomic location, such as infantile fibrosarcoma in this case.
