Abstract:
Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is a rare, aggressive cancer that typically affects youngsters and arises from mesenchymal tissue. Its clinical appearance varies widely depending on tumor location and histologic subtype, which often makes prompt diagnosis more difficult. Early detection and the start of the right multimodal therapy are essential for a better prognosis. Treatment strategies include surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy with the goals of removing the tumor and preventing metastases. To improve patient prognosis and survival rates, prompt detection, diagnosis, and treatment are crucial. This report details an uncommon case of embryonal orbital rhabdomyosarcoma.
