[Orbital rhabdomyosarcoma in a 9-month-old baby].

A 9-month-old baby, born within the normal period of gestation and with normal psychomotor development, presented with a rapidly progressive small swelling persisting for several months and evolving towards an inflammatory status. CT scan of the orbit and brain after contrast injection showed right intraorbital tissue mass forcing the eyeball upwards and outwards. The patient underwent surgical biopsy of the lesion.
