Bilateral orbital tumour as the presentation of mammographically occult breast cancer

Neuroradiology

Abstract

We report a rare case of bilateral orbital metastases as the presentation in a 63-year-old woman. Biopsy of a diffusely infiltrated medial rectus muscle suggested metastatic adenocarcinoma. Investigation revealed a palpable mass of the right breast not shown on mammography or sonography. Invasive lobular carcinoma was found at core-needle biopsy with histological features identical to those of the orbital lesion. Metastases to the extraocular muscles are uncommon, particularly as the initial abnormality in the absence of disseminated disease.
