Tuesday, 11 September 2012, 09.30 -10.30 Objective: Our aim is to inform on the frequency, clinical aspects, and histopathological features of the tumor metastatic to the orbit. In adults, the most common tumor metastatic to the orbit are carcinomas, breast carcinoma the most frequent. Less common are the metastases from gastrointestinal tract, kidneys, and prostate. Cutaneous malignant melanoma is the most common nonepithelial tumor metastatic to the orbit. Method: Orbital metastatic tumors may occur at any age, but most often between 40 and 70 years of age. Most reported statistics reveal a slight predominance of women, accounted for by the fact that breast carcinoma is causing metastases most frequently. A frequent finding in the cases of metastatic carcinoma is enophthalmos that is associated with scirrhous carcinomas. We present two cases of orbital metastatic tumors in which the primary tumors were a basal cell carcinoma and a cutaneous malignant melanoma. Results: As to the metastasis from a basal cell carcinoma, the primary tumor was located in the external angle of the eyeball and metastasized the external 1/3 of the orbit. In the case of malignant melanoma, the primary tumor was located in the upper lid and invaded the orbital floor and fat. In both patients eyeball enucleation was performed. Conclusion: We chose to present these cases given the differential diagnostic challenge and rarity of their location.
