Abstract

We report the first case of orbital myxoma in a 10-year-old girl with a history of acute myelomonocytic leukemia diagnosed at the age of 10 months. She presented with a mass in the right orbit, which was excised completely. There was no recurrence during the 6 months of follow-up.

Keywords: Orbital myxoma; acute myolomonocytic leukemia; complete excision.
