title: [Embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma of the orbit].
abstract: The paper shows the case of a 19-years-old patient, who presented two month before the observation took place marked exophthalmos at the left eye with general state alteration. Computerised tomography pointed out a tumoral formation having 4 centimeters in diameter, which pushed off the anterior ocular globe, eroding to the left frontal lobe. The anatomopathological exam evidenced the embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma. So, every unilateral exophthalmos of the child or teenager must lead the diagnosis of embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma. The therapy consists of exeresis biopsy, followed by complex radiotherapy and chemotherapy. The orbital exenteration, a multilant intervention, does not guarantee for the further evolution of the affection.
