Breast cancer is the most frequently diagnosed malignancy in women and currently ranks as the most common cancer worldwide. Survival significantly improves when the diagnosis is made before the onset of metastases, highlighting the importance of early screening.
The development of metastatic disease is closely linked to the tumor’s histological type, hormone receptor status, and gene expression profile. Triple-negative breast cancers are associated with a poor prognosis due to their resistance to systemic therapies. In contrast, hormone receptor-positive tumors and those with HER2 overexpression are often associated with longer survival and lower recurrence rates.
The most common sites of metastasis include the lungs, liver, bones, and brain. Orbital is less frequently observed, although breast cancer remains the most common solid tumor associated with these rare location.
We report the case of a patient in whom breast cancer was diagnosed following the onset of unilateral exophthalmos caused by an orbital mass.
