Abstrakt:	Metastatic disease is a relatively rare cause of orbital tumors. While many different types of primary malignancies have been documented, lung and breast cancers are the most prevalent ones among them. Herein, three cases of orbital metastasis from breast cancer are reported. The first patient had no history of primary malignancy, and the initial presentation was orbital metastasis from advanced breast cancer. The second patient had a history of neo-adjuvant chemotherapy, mastectomy, and adjuvant radiotherapy. The recurrence of the disease was diagnosed via symptomatic metastasis to orbit involving the lateral rectus muscle. The third patient had a history of mastectomy, adjuvant radiotherapy, and hormone therapy. Considering that even patients without a diagnosis of primary malignancy may present with orbital metastasis, ophthalmologists' awareness of this issue is critical.
