PALPEBRAL METASTASIS OF BREAST CANCER. A CASE REPORT AND LITERATURE REVIEW
Journal Title: World Journal of Pharmaceutical and Medical Research - Year 2019, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
Ocular metastases (OM) have become less rare since systemic treatments for certain cancers can prolong patient survival. The cancers most frequently involved are breast cancers, for which the incidence of ophthalmic localizations is estimated by some authors to be 30%, with a prevalence of 11,000 cases per year in the United States. We report the case of a patient with palpebral metastasis of breast cancer.
