Design: Retrospective interventional case report. Participant: A 6-year-old girl with pathologically proven synovial sarcoma in the orbit. The diagnosis was confirmed by immunohistochemistry. Methods: The patient was treated with right lateral orbital and right temporal tumor resection, followed by chemotherapy. She was followed up every 3 months for 1 year. Results: The tumor was excised, and the patient received 5 courses of chemotherapy. She did well during the initial first-year follow-up with no recurrent signs. Conclusions: We reported the sixth case of primary synovial sarcoma in the orbit and the first case of a 6-year-old girl.https://doi.org/10.1177/1179172117701732
