Introduction: Congenital infantile fibrosarcoma is often misdiagnosed. It may be more common than noted in the literature. We present an unusual case of paediatric head and neck fibrosarcoma. Methods: Restrospective case report and literature review. Results: We report the surgical management of a fibrosarcoma of the tongue in an 8-month-old child where neo-adjuvant chemotherapy was unsuccessful. Conclusion: Surgical resection is the mainstay of treatment, in the head and neck region where critical structures are close to the tumour, complete resection with wide margins can be difficult. The role of chemotherapy is yet to be defined.

Rhabdomyosarcoma comprises about half of the soft tissue tumors. Approximately 40% of the alveolar subtype occur in the head and neck region. Patients present with unilateral nasal mass with/without lymphadenopathy and with/without orbital manifestations. Diagnosis is aided radiologically by CT scan, MRI along with biopsy and is confirmed by immunohistochemistry. Treatment involves surgical resection, chemotherapy, radiotherapy or a combination of these. In spite of treatments, however, the outcome is poor. This is a case report of 14-year-old male who presented with unilateral nasal mass with proptosis of right eye who was eventually diagnosed as a case of alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma of solid variant.

Congenital cysts of the neck are not uncommon. Most of these are thyroglossal, branchial cleft and thymic cysts. Bronchogenic cysts are uncommon developmental anomalies of the tracheobronchial tree and rarely occur in the neck. More than 70 cases of bronchogenic cysts in the head and neck region have been reported in the literature. We report three cases presenting with neck swelling in the hyoid region that were diagnosed as bronchogenic cysts based on clinical and histopathological findings.
