Orbital involvement by plasma cell tumours is rare. Orbital tumours do not generally present as an acute orbital inflammatory disease in adults, though tumours such as rhabdomyosarcoma may cause clinical signs similar to an acute orbital cellulitis in children. We describe a patient with bacterial orbital cellulitis and sinusitis who was found to have an extra-medullary plasmacytoma of the maxillary antrum and orbit and coexisting testicular seminoma.

A 14-year-old girl with a large left ovarian mass underwent excision of the tumor which on histologic examination revealed dysgerminoma mixed with elements of rhabdomyosarcoma. A subsequent staging laparotomy revealed a solitary 1-cm nodule along the pelvic wall. This was composed of rhabdomyosarcoma. Review of literature revealed that soft tissue sarcomas of several types may on occasion be seen in association with gonadal and extragonadal mixed germ cell tumors or in spermatocytic seminoma of the testis. However, no previously published report of a sarcoma arising in a pure dysgerminoma was found in the literature.

A search was made for cancers among offspring and siblings of 149 Connecticut-born children with Wilms tumor reported to the Connecticut Tumor Registry during 1935 to 1973. Nasopharyngeal rhabdomyosarcoma developed in the daughter of a man with unilateral Wilms tumor that also affected his sister. Hodgkin disease developed in the daughter of a woman who had unilateral Wilms tumor. One other patient had a sibling with Wilms tumor and three had a sibling with other cancers (two Hodgkin disease, one testicular seminoma). The survey suggests an excess risk of other forms of cancer among the progeny and siblings of Wilms tumor patients.
