ABSTRACT
Juvenile fibrosarcoma is not an uncommon tumor in children; however, eyelid involvement is extremely rare. Very few cases have been reported in the literature. This is the first case of JFS of the eyelid in Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital and the first diagnosed case in Nepal. Histologically, it is similar to adult fibrosarcoma but it has an excellent prognosis. Surgical excision is the mainstay of treatment; however chemotherapy has been proved effective. Here we present a case of juvenile fibrosarcoma of the eyelid in a four year female child presenting with a rapidly enlarging, painless, left upper eyelid mass. An incisional biopsy, from the eyelid mass, showed typical histopathological features of juvenile fibrosarcoma.
