Journal Title: IP International Journal of Ocular Oncology and Oculoplasty - Year 2016, Vol 2, Issue 3

On right eye examination patient had perception of rays in four quadrants, severe ptosis with mild restriction in extra-ocular movements inferiorly and medially and relative afferent pupillary defect. Dilated fundus examination was normal. Left eye examination was normal with best corrected visual acuity 6/6. MRI revealed myositis/ edema with bulky inferior rectus and medial rectus muscles with ill-defined enhancing lesions in soft tissue in right orbit suggestive of inflammatory/thyroid orbitopathy. To start injection Methylprednisolone, Chest X Ray was done which revealed sclerotic metastases. Ultrasonomammography revealed mass in right retro areolar region with right axillary lymphadenopathy.
