Resumen
RODRIGUEZ-MARCO, NA et al. Proptosis as the first sign of recurrent scirrhous breast carcinoma. Arch Soc Esp Oftalmol [online]. 2005, vol.80, n.12, pp.737-740. ISSN 0365-6691.
Objective: To inform clinicians of a metastatic orbital neoplasm that frequently masquerades as an orbital inflammatory syndrome. Case report: The case of a 61-year-old woman, diagnosed and treated seven years ago for a scirrhous breast carcinoma is presented. She complained of blurred vision and proptosis of the left eye and these symptoms were the first manifestation of tumor relapse. Discussion: When orbital inflammation is detected in an adult female patient, a full medical history must be obtained and physical examination performed, as orbital metastases have been reported to be the initial manifestation of malignancy in 30 to 50% of cases.
Palabras clave : Orbital metastasis; scirrhous; breast carcinoma.
