J AAPOS. 2010 Jun;14(3):285-7. doi: 10.1016/j.jaapos.2010.04.008.

Abstract

Rhabdomyosarcoma is the most common childhood primary soft-tissue sarcoma, with ocular lesions representing approximately 10% of cases. Most ocular rhabdomyosarcomas arise in the orbit between 7 and 8 years of age. We present a case of successfully managed rhabdomyosarcoma confined to the lower lid of a 3-month-old boy.
