Abstract
- We describe the diagnosis and surgical management of fibrosarcoma of the sacrum in a pediatric patient. We retrospectively reviewed the literature and a case report. Total sacrectomy is a viable treatment option in the management of large malignant sacral tumors. The techniques used in adult patients can be extended to and improved upon for pediatric patients. The input of multiple surgical specialties is essential in the management of these lesions.
