Abstract
A 66-year-old female presented with a swollen and itchy eyelid for 4 weeks. A computed tomography (CT) scan revealed a lesion epicentered in the greater wing of the sphenoid and anterior lateral and superior orbital walls, predominantly showing osteoblastic features. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) demonstrated further calvarial and pachymeningeal involvement. Biopsy of the lesion demonstrated a poorly differentiated carcinoma. A distant history of breast cancer (20 years) prompted specific immunochemistry that confirmed breast carcinoma metastases. Staging positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET) revealed multisystem spread. This report highlights the fact that breast carcinoma metastasis may rarely present with a predominantly osteoblastic lesion in the orbit.
