Orbital Metastases: Are we underestimating the problem
Journal Title: IP International Journal of Ocular Oncology and Oculoplasty - Year 2016, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
Orbital metastases represent a small but increasing percentage of all orbital tumors, reported in different case studies and series to have an incidence of 1% to 13%. Breast cancer is by far the most common primary site, accounting for 28.5%– 58.8% of cases of orbital metastases, followed by lung, prostate, gastrointestinal, kidney and skin (melanoma) cancers.[1-2] Unilateral disease is the usual presentation while intra-orbital anatomical distribution involves predominantly the lateral and superior quadrants.
