    Author: Rodríguez-Marco NA, Domínguez-Polo AM, Cristóbal-Bescós JA, Sierra-Barreras J, Castillo-Laguarta J.
    Journal: Arch Soc Esp Oftalmol; 2005 Dec; 80(12):737-40. PubMed ID: 16372219.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To inform clinicians of a metastatic orbital neoplasm that frequently masquerades as an orbital inflammatory syndrome. CASE REPORT: 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. DISCUSSION: 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.
