“…The tumor was strongly deformed and partially occluded by the invaginated medial wall of the left orbit towards nasal septum. In more advanced forms, bone erosion may occur; the neoplasm may also infiltrate adjacent paranasal sinuses or the nasopharynx [ 17 , 23 ]. Jones, together with associate researchers [ 14 ], observed rhabdomyosarcoma identified in the orbit and in some cases reported the presence of the tumor in the nose.…”

PurposeThe aims of this paper are to describe the morphological alterations within an infant craniofacial skeleton caused by an orbital tumor and present how the bone reacts in contact with a spreading tumor mass.MethodsA study was performed on the dry skull of a child at the age of approximately 2 years. Morphological alterations of the craniofacial skeleton were analysed by visual inspection, and the intracranial cavity was examined with the aid of a digital camera. Subsequently, the skull was examined using computed tomography.ResultsThe skull was identified as having unilateral symptoms of orbital destruction caused by a malignant tumor, probably retinoblastoma or rhabdomyosarcoma. The left orbit and surrounding bones showed extensive malformation caused by the invading tumor. Profound deformities were also observed in the nasal cavity, which was partially occluded by the collapsed medial wall of the left orbit. The tumor extended to the wall of the orbit, spread out of the orbit, penetrated to the anterior cranial fossa, and probably invaded the brain.ConclusionsExtensive pathological cranial destruction and possible metastases to inner organs suggest that the orbital tumor was the cause of death. Anatomical alterations observed in the craniofacial skeleton indicate a highly aggressive character of the orbital tumor.

“…The mean age of onset is 7-8 years and 90% of primary orbital RMS are presented before 16 years. The male-tofemale ratio is 5:34 [34]. Primary orbital rhabdomyosarcoma commonly affects the orbital cavity and rapid onset (80-100% of cases) of proptosis (Fig.…”

Childhood tumor is differs from adult tumor but has a wide range varieties in types and presentation due to its origin from different embryogenic layers. As Pediatric patients mostly depend on their parents or caregivers for seeking medical attention, many ocular tumor present with unnecessary delay. Most childhood ocular tumors are benign, but there are also life threatening tumors. In this study, a variety of intraocular, orbital and surface tumors are reviewed with their key sign of diagnosis and current treatment modalities. Though most of these tumor present at tertiary eye hospitals, the overall knowledge about these tumors can help ophthalmologists in diagnosis and proper referral.
