Metastatic Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma to the Orbit and Periorbit Masquerading as Periorbital Abscess

Abstract: A 61-year-old man with no history of malignancy presented with a rapidly expanding left periorbital mass, first noticed one month prior to presentation. The mass was firm, and a pus-like discharge drained spontaneously from the center of the lesion. A biopsy was performed, and histopathology confirmed squamous cell carcinoma. Systemic evaluation revealed that the patient had a primary esophageal squamous cell carcinoma with multiple metastases. The prognosis of orbital metastasis is generally poor, and this pa… Show more

“…Ocular metastases generally account for 1–13% of total reported eye tumors. According to literature, only four cases of ocular metastasis of esophageal origin have been reported, two of which were squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and the rest were esophageal adenocarcinomas [6]. In this report, a case of ocular scleral metastasis was reported in a patient with a past history of esophageal SCC.…”

“…Most of metastatic carcinomas to the eye arise from the lung, breasts and prostate [9], and metastases originating from the GI tract account for only 6–7% of all reported cases. According to the literature, there are only four reported cases of ocular metastasis of GI origin [6, 10]. …”

“…La métastase des tissus mous est révélatrice de la tumeur dans un quart des cas, et dans 10-13 % des cas le primitif ne peut être précisé [1,2]. Les métastases nécrotiques à l'imagerie ont été rapportées au cours des cancers bronchiques ou d'autres tumeurs [3][4][5]. Leur aspect est probablement lié à une croissance rapide, avec une angiogénèse insuffisante pour assurer une bonne vascularisation des lésions [5].…”

“…Les métastases nécrotiques à l'imagerie ont été rapportées au cours des cancers bronchiques ou d'autres tumeurs [3][4][5]. Leur aspect est probablement lié à une croissance rapide, avec une angiogénèse insuffisante pour assurer une bonne vascularisation des lésions [5]. D'autres diagnostics pourraient être discutés, tels des sarcomes des tissus mous en cas de lésion unique, des infections bactériennes à pyogènes ou à mycobactéries, ou des infections fungiques en cas de lésions multiples.…”
