Orbital Metastases of Breast Cancer in Males
We report a case of orbital metastasis of infiltrative breast carcinoma in a 65-year-old man. The patient was diagnosed with stage four breast cancer one year before, for which a mastectomy was performed. He refused postoperative radiotherapy and chemotherapy at that time. He had a history of lung,...

description | We report a case of orbital metastasis of infiltrative breast carcinoma in a 65-year-old man. The patient was diagnosed with stage four breast cancer one year before, for which a mastectomy was performed. He refused postoperative radiotherapy and chemotherapy at that time. He had a history of lung, liver, and mediastinal metastases. At admission, he presented with blurred vision, diplopia, ocular pain, and mild swelling of the upper lid of the left eye (LE). Computed tomography (CT) of the brain and orbit revealed a front-ethmoidal tissue mass with left orbital and frontal intracranial extension. Ophthalmologic examination revealed exophthalmos on the LE with a downward and outward deviation of the eyeball, proptosis, and intraocular pressure (IOP) of 40 mmHg. The patient’s treatment started with topical maximal anti-glaucomatous drops and radiotherapy sessions. After three weeks of follow-up, there was a gradual improvement of local symptoms and signs and a normal IOP. |
