Presentation
To describe a rare orbital metastasis with atypical presentation. Retrospective case report. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Entire Body System
- Soft Tissue Swelling
He underwent MRI of brain and orbit revealed a soft tissue swelling inthe left infratemporal fossa measuring 5.2x4 cm. It was extended medially and infiltrated the left orbit and its bony lateral wall besides the lateral rectus muscle (Fig. 3). [ijp.iranpath.org]
Gastrointestinal
- Rectal Bleeding
Case report A A 62-year male patient from tribal region in West Bengal, India was attended to Surgery Out Patient Department in 2015 with complaints of irregular bowel habit and occasional rectal bleeding for last two months. [ijp.iranpath.org]
- Rectal Mass
Rectal examination revealed an elevated irregular mass at posterior part of rectum. [ijp.iranpath.org]
- Early Satiety
Clinical presentations include anorexia, early satiety, epigastric pain, bleeding and vomiting and in this case, she complained of dyspepsia and epigastric fullness in relation to the pyloric obstruction [ 6 ]. [omicsonline.org]
- Dyspepsia
Clinical presentations include anorexia, early satiety, epigastric pain, bleeding and vomiting and in this case, she complained of dyspepsia and epigastric fullness in relation to the pyloric obstruction [ 6 ]. [omicsonline.org]
Musculoskeletal
- Shoulder Pain
Abstract A 63-year old male with chronic shoulder pain and painful left eye with binocular diplopia of sudden onset was seen independently by Ophthalmologists and his family Doctor and investigated first non-invasively where masses were found both in [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Eyes
- Diplopia
This case showed that retro-orbital metastasis should be considered as a differential diagnosis in a patient with thyroid cancer who presents with unilateral diplopia. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Without 131 I therapy, diplopia occurred from metastasis to the right medial rectus muscle. Improvement followed after one therapy dose of 131 I. [karger.com]
A 66-year-old man presented with a 3-week history of right eye pain and diplopia. He also reported a 4- to 5-month history of urinary frequency, hematuria, and passing gray-white particles in his urine. [archivesofpathology.org]
- Strabismus
Diplopia (48%), pain (42%), and visual loss (30%) were the commonest symptoms at presentation; whereas proptosis (63%), strabismus (62%), and visual loss (41%) were the most frequent clinical signs. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Paraneoplastic neurologic findings including cerebellar ataxia or opsoclonus/myoclonus (dancing eyes, dancing feet) may occur. 5 Other manifestations include Horner's syndrome, aniscoria, and strabismus. 2 Ophthalmic involvement by definition is Stage [nature.com]

- Unilateral Proptosis
A 44-year-old man presented with unilateral proptosis and progressively deteriorating vision of his left eye over a 2-week period. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Unilateral proptosis as a manifestation of orbital metastasis from follicular thyroid cancer is rarely reported. [medcraveonline.com]

- Eye Pain
On initial presentation, her eye pain and mass was attributed to ocular sarcoidosis. [ascopubs.org]
A 66-year-old man presented with a 3-week history of right eye pain and diplopia. He also reported a 4- to 5-month history of urinary frequency, hematuria, and passing gray-white particles in his urine. [archivesofpathology.org]
Pain is an uncommon symptom of a lymphoproliferative lesion, in contrast to orbital pseudotumor, which manifests with acute pain ( 14 ). [pubs.rsna.org]
- Unilateral Ptosis
Four patients presented with recent onset of unilateral proptosis, 1 patient presented with inflammatory manifestations, and 1 patient presented with unilateral ptosis. Pain was present in 4 patients. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Neurologic
- Frontal Headache
An 82-year-old man presented with progressive right frontal headaches. The patient's history was significant for benign polyps on surveillance colonoscopy 2 years prior, without high-grade dysplasia or carcinoma. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Workup
It is recommended that any patient with visual symptoms and known urothelial cancer should undergo expedited workup for metastatic disease. [urotoday.com]
Workup revealed type Ⅲ advanced gastric cancer at the lesser curvature of the gastric antrum. Biopsy revealed a diagnosis of poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma. [dear-medic.jp]
The workup of suspected metastatic scirrhous breast cancer to the orbit includes a complete history and physical, imaging of the orbit (CT or MRI), mammogram, orbital mass biopsy and body imaging for metastatic disease. [webeye.ophth.uiowa.edu]
Diagnosis, Workup and Treatment Laboratory blood work was sent, including TSH, T3, free T4 and thyroid stimulating immunoglobulin, which all came back within normal limits. The patient underwent further imaging to characterize the orbit pathology. [reviewofophthalmology.com]
A diagnosis of a giant basal cell carcinoma metastatic to the lungs was established;the patient had an ECOG performance status of 2, a blood workup showed he had normal renal function. Platinum based chemotherapy was decided. [panafrican-med-journal.com]
QT, RR, ST Intervals
- ST Elevation
One month after initial presentation, he suffered acute renal failure and a lethal, non-ST elevation myocardial infarct. He had received only a single round of carboplatin and gemcitabine. [archivesofpathology.org]
Treatment
Radiotherapy remains an efficacious modality for treatment of orbital metastases. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
[…] to the exams prior to treatment (Figure 1 ). [cureus.com]
One child died during treatment. Two have completed treatment and are under follow-up. [nature.com]
Prognosis
Orbital metastasis of urinary bladder carcinoma is associated with a poor prognosis and is more frequently observed in older people. In addition, it is five times more prevalent in men than in women. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
T1: isointense to muscle 8 T2: hyperintense to muscle, hypointense to fat T1 C+ (Gd): enhancement present but variable Treatment and prognosis Treatment is primarily with radiotherapy, typically with a total dose of 30-40 Gy 1. [radiopaedia.org]
Etiology
Systemic history and orbital imaging play an important role in differentiating the infective etiology from metastasis. [sjopthal.net]
[…] between the ages of 15 and 35 years, with a slightly higher incidence in women. 3 Although multiple predisposing factors have been identified such as genetic diseases, radiation exposure, certain chemical agents, lymphedema, and trauma, no specific etiology [mdmag.com]
MacFaul stated in his “System of ophthalmology” that unlike exophthalmos, enophthalmos could not lead to a fatal outcome [ 7 ]; because his classification failed to mention orbital tumors as a possible etiology. [bmcpediatr.biomedcentral.com]
Disease Orbital Cellulitis (ICD-9 #376.01) Etiology Orbital cellulitis most commonly occurs when bacterial infection spreads from the paranasal sinuses, most often from the ethmoid sinus through the thin lamina papyracea of the medial orbital wall. [eyewiki.aao.org]
The etiology of breast cancer metastasis to the head and neck region is largely unknown. [journals.lww.com]

The remaining two patients were capable of being diagnosed early, and immediate radiotherapy for their tumors provided dramatic symptomatic remission and long-term prevention of recurrence of symptoms. [ci.nii.ac.jp]
Primary prevention Identifying patients and effectively treating upper respiratory or sinus infections before they evolve into orbital cellulitis is an important aspect of preventing preseptal cellulitis from progressing to orbital cellulitis. [eyewiki.aao.org]
