Wide-Excision Choice in Orbital Rhabdomyosarcoma on an 8-Year-Old Patient in a Low-Resource Setting: A Case Report
Orbital rhabdomyosarcoma typically presents with sudden onset and rapid proptosis, without a history of trauma or respiratory tract infections. The embryonal subtype is the most common and has a better prognosis with combined therapy including surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation. In low-resource settings, early clinical suspicion and thorough physical examination are vital, as limited access to medical tools can complicate management. Treatment should be adapted based on available resources, and regular follow-up is essential to monitor outcomes and ensure optimal care. Any swelling in children should be carefully examined for early detection and effective intervention.
