We present the long-term follow-up of a case of periorbital congenital infantile fibrosarcoma (CIFS) treated with chemotherapy and surgery. The tumor was detected on a routine prenatal ultrasound at 30 weeks of gestation and diagnosed via an orbital biopsy day 9 postnatal age. The patient underwent chemotherapy and surgical debulking within the first 3 months of life and has maintained complete tumor remission for 7 years. The case highlights that early recognition and prompt treatment of periorbital CIFS can lead to complete long-term remission of this uncommon malignancy.
