Abstract

Purpose: To describe a rare orbital metastasis with atypical presentation. Design and Methods: Retrospective case report. Results: The patient presented with a rapid onset of a cystic orbital lesion after a presumptive diagnosis of endometrial carcinoma that had been completely excised eight months ago. This was the initial presentation of widespread metastasis. Conclusions: Endometrial carcinomas can metastasize to the orbit and may have a very atypical presentation.
