Primary orbital rhabdoid tumour masquerading as atypical persistent foetal vasculature.

ABSTRACT

We present a case of primary rhabdoid tumour of the orbit. Presenting features at birth included congenital ptosis, conjunctival injection, hyphaema and microphthalmia. The unique presentation caused a late diagnosis following the development of rapid proptosis 6 months later. We suggest that orbital rhabdoid tumour be considered in the differential diagnoses of patients presenting with atypical persistent foetal vasculature features.
