Abstract

Ocular metastasis of breast cancer has become more frequent since therapy increases patients' survival. It is therefore important to recall this diagnosis. We report the case of a 73-year-old patient who had orbital metastases of an unknown breast cancer. The commonest clinical sign at diagnosis is exophthalmia. Prognosis is usually pejorative once diagnosis is performed. Standard treatment is radiotherapy and requires a multidisciplinary approach.
