Description |
Metastatic orbital disease is rare but it must be considered in the differential diagnosis of any patient with known history of cancer, presenting with ophthalmic symptoms. (1-4). Most ocular metastases of breast cancer are located in the choroid, while an extrabulbar localization within the orbit is rare, with only 3-10% of all ocular metastases. Breast carcinoma is the most prevalent primary tumor in metastatic orbital tumor, accounting for 28.5%-58.8% of all metastases followed by lung, prostate, gastrointestinal, kidney and skin (melanoma) cancers (4). Ocular metastasis can be initial manifestation of breast carcinoma, in some data up to 26% of orbital breast metastases (5). |
