A 3-month-old infant patient presented with a 1-week history of a quickly progressive mass in the left eye. A hard, irregularly shaped tumor was found in the superolateral orbit. B-scan showed an uneven hypoecho and an undefined lesion. On the orbital CT, a soft tissue mass was located around the left zygomatic tubercle, involving part of the bone and lacrimal gland. The left orbital mass was removed under general anesthesia after admission. The histological and immunohistochemical examination revealed it was a melanotic neuroectodermal tumor. The infant patient was followed up for 6 months after the operation, and no recurrence was found. (Chin J Ophthalmol, 2021, 57: 372-374).
