Alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma that metastasized to the orbit.
A 22-year-old woman with a history of hyperthyroidism and a paravaginal alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma developed diplopia 3 months after successful autologous bone marrow transplantation. Results of computed tomographic scan showed apparent enlargement of the right inferior rectus muscle, and thyroid eye disease was suspected. However, results of further evaluation revealed an alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma that metastasized to the orbit.
