Rhabdomyosarcoma is highly malignant soft tissue sarcoma having mesoderm or myotome derived skeletal muscle origin. It is most common soft tissue sarcoma of childhood and accounts for 4% of pediatric solid malignancy. Orbital RMS accounts for 9-10% of head and neck RMSs. It has favorable prognosis with long survival. The treatment of orbital RMS has multidisciplinary approach. In this article, we have reported a case of 8 year old girl with orbital RMS in which we had planned adaptive radiotherapy due to excellent response of tumor to the chemoradiation.
