Article Synopsis
- Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is a rare but significant eye tumor that poses diagnostic and management challenges for ocular oncologists, often appearing in the first decade of life.
- Commonly found in the superior nasal quadrant of the orbit, RMS can mimic other lesions, with its effects varying based on tumor location and growth rate.
- Advances in chemotherapy and radiotherapy have improved survival rates, but posttreatment complications like secondary malignancies and visual dysfunction present new challenges for long-term care.
