Abstract
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 eval
uation, treatment planning, and follow-up monitoring of the disease. Such i
maging, especially when contrast is used, can accurately detect and state t
he extent of tumor involvement.
