We present 2 cases of orbital metastases of male breast cancer, a very rare association in the context of a rare disease. We also provide a review of the literature on this topic including the 4 previously reported cases. Our cases presented with diplopia and proptosis. Orbital biopsies were performed that revealed metastases of infiltrative ductal carcinoma (ICD).

Surgery, Nippon Medical School, Tokyo, JPN.
While orbital floor metastasis from hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has been reported, ocular (eyeball) metastasis is exceedingly rare. Most ocular metastases originate from breast or lung cancer. In this article, we present the case of a 65-year-old man diagnosed with HCC with central necrosis (cT3N0M0, stage III) based on characteristic imaging findings.

Purpose: Microcystic adnexal carcinoma (MAC) is a locally aggressive adnexal carcinoma of the head and neck, which has a high tendency for recurrence. MAC rarely has distant metastasis, with only one previously reported case originating from the periorbital region. We present a patient with periorbital MAC with distant metastasis and a review of all reported patients with metastatic disease.

Adnexal Service, Moorfields Eye Hospital, London, United Kingdom.
Purpose: To compare clinical characteristics of patients with and without a known systemic malignancy at the time of diagnosis of orbital metastases.
Methods: Retrospective case note and imaging review for patients with orbital metastases presenting between 1980 and 2022. Patients were classified as having known malignancy at orbital presentation (group I) or without known malignancy (group II).
Inflammatory Myofibroblastic Tumor of the Orbit: A Case Series and Literature Review.
J Inflamm Res
December 2024
Centre for Ophthalmology and Visual Science, The University of Western Australia, Perth, WA, Australia.
Purpose: Orbital inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors (IMTs) are a rare tumor with intermediate biological potential. We analyzed a series of orbital IMTs to determine their unique features.
Methods: Records from patients with pathologically confirmed IMT at Beijing Tongren Hospital, Capital Medical University, between January 2004 and August 2022, were reviewed for their ocular presentation and treatment outcomes.
