Abstract
A 22-year-old woman with a history of hyperthyroidism and a paravagina l alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma developed diplopia 3 months after successf ul autologous bone marrow transplantation. Results of computed tomogra phic scan showed apparent enlargement of the right inferior rectus mus cle, and thyroid eye disease was suspected. However, results of furthe r evaluation revealed an alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma that metastasized t o the orbit.
