To inform clinicians of a metastatic orbital neoplasm that frequently masquerades as an orbital inflammatory syndrome.The case of a 61-year-old woman, diagnosed and treated seven years ago for a scirrhous breast carcinoma is presented. She complained of blurred vision and proptosis of the left eye and these symptoms were the first manifestation of tumor relapse.When orbital inflammation is detected in an adult female patient, a full medical history must be obtained and physical examination performed, as orbital metastases have been reported to be the initial manifestation of malignancy in 30 to 50% of cases. |
