ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT Rhabdomyosarcoma is the most common soft tissue tumor in children and orbital lesions account for 10% of these diagnoses. This case describes a young boy who presented with eyelid swelling that was initially concerning for an expanding hematoma given a history of recent trauma to the eye. Point-of-care ultrasound identified 2 distinct lesions surrounding the globe, which prompted further investigation, including ophthalmology consult and computed tomography. The case presented highlights the initial misdiagnosis on both point-of-care ultrasound and computed tomography and the importance of using color Doppler on ultrasound to distinguish an orbital rhabdomyosarcoma from a posttraumatic hematoma.
