A four and a half year old child had rapidly progressive proptosis of the left eye with associated chemosis over a period of several weeks. Computed tomography demonstrated a solid extraconal mass in the inferior anterior left orbit. Histopathologic examination revealed the lesion to be an embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma. Consistent with the diagnosis, immunohistochemical assays demonstrated positive staining with myoglobin, desmin, and vimentin. The lesion grew rapidly. Subsequently, treatment chemotherapy was initiated.
