Rhabdomyosarcoma of the orbit. Evaluation with MR imaging and CT.
Rhabdomyosarcoma is the most common primary orbital malignancy of childhood. It can present insidiously, mimicking other (benign) processes clinically and radiographically. CT and MR imaging are crucial in the diagnostic evaluation, treatment planning, and follow-up monitoring of the disease. Such imaging, especially when contrast is used, can accurately detect and state the extent of tumor involvement.
