Abstract

 Orbital metastasis is very infrequent in breast cancer; more so as an initial and sole presenting feature. The authors report a case of orbital metastasis of occult breast carcinoma in a 46­year­old woman, who presented with restricted eye movement and right orbital swelling in June 2015. A biopsy from the orbital mass was suggestive of neoplastic etiology (metastatic adenocarcinoma). Following this a breast lump was identified in July 2015 which was suggestive of invasive micropapillary carcinoma.

Keywords: Orbital Metastasis; Breast Cancer; Metastatic Adenocarcinoma.
