Rhabdomyosarcoma of the orbit in a four months old infant in Zimbabwe: A case report

Abstract

Infants younger than one year of age with RhabdomyosarcTJmrr'appear to have worse prognosis compared to older children due partly to high rates of local failure. We report a 4 months old infant with orbital rhabdomyosarcoma with poor outcome.. Reluctance to use aggressive local control measures and suboptimal chemotherapy dosing are significant contributory factors. Cal 1 is made for need for more studies to determine appropriate local therapy in infants with rhabdomyosarcoma.
