Ocular Metastasis from Breast Cancer: Case Report

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

Breast cancer can metastasize to many sites, but the eye is an uncommon location. A long interval typically occurs between diagnosis of primary breast carcinoma and detection of orbital and ocular metastasis. It is generally a feature of widespread disseminated disease.The symptoms of ocular metastasis can be very variable.Diagnosis is based on a thorough medical history and clinical evaluation.The treatment is multidisciplinary in order to definie the optimal management of each patient but often with palliative intention and have no effect on survival rates.We report a case of a 46 year old woman with a triple negative invasive ductal carcinoma of the right breast, diagnosed and treated 5 years before, who developed an ocular metastasis.
