Key Points

To evaluate and manage orbital metastasis using multimodal imaging techniques.
Assess common primary malignancies that metastasize to the orbit.
Utilize ultrasound for screening suspected orbital metastasis lesions.
Analyze the infiltration of metastasis into extraocular muscles.
Breast carcinoma, melanoma, and lung carcinoma are commonly involved in orbital metastasis.
Ultrasound proves reliable in evaluating suspicious lesions.
Patients with orbital metastasis generally have poor survival outcomes.

Abstract

Breast carcinoma, melanoma, and lung carcinoma are the most common primary malignancies that metastasize to the orbit. OM tends to infiltrate the extraocular muscles. Ultrasound provides reliable parameters and can be used as a primary screening when evaluating suspected OM lesions. The survival time of patients with OM is generally poor.
