ABSTRACT
Of the head and neck tumoral lesions in children and adolescents, 5%-10% are primary malignant tumors. Among these tumors, orbital rhabdomyosarcoma stands out, which is the most common primary soft tissue sarcoma in children. Its diagnosis requires a high degree of clinical suspicion, and it can be corroborated with a series of examinations, in order to stage it and carry out the appropriate treatment. Currently, surgery and chemotherapy are the primary treatments, and the use of conventional radiotherapy is limited to cases where previous treatments fail or there is a risk of recurrence. The following case report aims to expose the clinical picture, diagnosis, staging and integral treatment of orbital rhabdomyosarcoma, as well as the interdisciplinary management that was performed to improve the patient's prognosis.

De las lesiones tumorales de cabeza y cuello en niños y adolescentes, un 5 a un 10% son tumores malignos primarios. Dentro de estos tumores destaca el rabdomiosarcoma orbitario infantil, que es el sarcoma primario de tejido blando más común en niños. Su diagnóstico requiere de un alto grado de sospecha clínica, que puede corroborarse con una serie de exámenes, para así estadificarlo e indicar el tratamiento adecuado. Actualmente se utiliza de primera intención cirugía y quimioterapia; el uso de la radioterapia convencional se limita a casos en los que fracasan los tratamientos anteriores o existe riesgo de recurrencia. El siguiente trabajo tiene como propósito exponer el cuadro clínico, diagnóstico, la estadificación y tratamiento integral de un rabdomiosarcoma embrionario orbitario, así como el manejo interdisciplinario que se realizó para mejorar el pronóstico de la paciente (AU)
