Abstract
Background: Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS), the most common soft tissue sarcoma in children. While most children with localized RMS achieve long-term remission, the prognosis for those with metastatic RMS continues to be challenging, with limited improvements in survival outcomes. Aim: This report aims to highlight a rare case of orbital rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) initially misdiagnosed as a sinonasal carcinoma. Objectives: Initially suspected to be sinonasal carcinoma, histopathological analysis revealed a malignant round cell tumor. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) further confirmed the diagnosis as embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma. This report studies the role of radiation in orbital Rhabdomyosarcoma. Material: At the SAIMS institute’s Radiation Oncology Department, pathology records were examined for case of Rhabdomyosarcoma. The treatment approach for this patient included a combination of radiation therapy and chemotherapy. Result: We found that throughout the course of radiation therapy patient shows excellent tolerance and patient is on regular follow up in our department. Conclusion: Orbital RMS has a relatively optimistic prognosis due to its favorable location and histology. In cases where surgery isn’t possible, radiotherapy remains essential, offering strong response rates with manageable side effects.
