University College Hospital, Ibadan, where cytological examination of a fine needle aspiration biopsy specimen of the tumour and the lymph node revealed. changes that were consistent with those seen in rhabdomyosarcoma. This case emphasises the' fact that rhabdomyosarcoma is an important differential diagnosis of orbital tumours in childhood, especially in Burkitt's lymphoma endemic areas.
