| Description |
Neuroendocrine tumors are rare, epithelial neoplasms that arise from various organ ; systems, including the gastrointestinal (GI) tract and tracheobronchial tree [1]. 50-75% of cases present with metastatic disease, most commonly the liver [2]. Metastases to the eyes are rare but can involve the choroid or, with a primary of GI origin, the orbit [3, 4]. Orbital involvement commonly presents with proptosis and motility limitations [4]. Herein we present a case of metastatic carcinoid masquerading at first glance as myasthenia gravis (MG). |
