“…Most metastatic cancer to the ocular region occurs in the uveal tract (63%), followed by the orbit (26%), and the eyelids (10%) [1]. As metastasis to the soft tissues of the orbit is relatively uncommon, most ophthalmologist and oncologist have little or none experience with orbital metastasis [2].…”

“…Only 19% of orbital metastasis is the presenting feature of systemic malignancy. After systemic workup, in 10% of cases, the primary tumor remains unknown [1,2]. We report a case with orbital metastases as the presenting sign of lung malignancy and describe the importance of a multidisciplinary management.…”

The purpose is to describe a clinical case of orbital metastases as the presentation sign of the primary tumor, and the importance of a multidisciplinary diagnosis. A 70-year-old man attended the Ophthalmology Department referring ocular pain. Mild proptosis and a dermal lesion in the neck were noticed. Biopsy of the dermal lesion and systemic work-up were compatible with lung adenocarcinoma with metastatic dissemination. After one cycle of palliative chemotherapy, patient’s medical condition worsened, and he eventually died. Although rare, orbital symptoms can be the initial clinical presentation preceding the diagnosis of the primary silent lung neoplasm. Ophthalmologist has an important role in diagnoses of metastatic orbital cancer. Involvement of the multidisciplinary team is important for diagnosis and treatment.
