Abstract
Myoepitheliomas are rare tumors with various growth patterns and cellular variants. Primary myoepithelioma is rare in the orbit, with most previously reported cases involving the lacrimal gland region of adult patients. The authors report the case of a primary orbital soft tissue myoepithelioma in a 3-month-old boy. Diagnostic criteria and management considerations of this unusual tumor presenting in a young child are discussed.Entities:
