title: Alveolar soft-part sarcoma of the orbit.
abstract: Alveolar soft-part sarcoma is a malignant soft tissue neoplasm that involves mainly the deep soft tissues of the extremities, particularly the thighs and the buttock. Involvement of the orbit is uncommon. We describe a young child with such a tumor and illustrate the characteristic features.
