Inflammatory Presentation of Orbital Metastasis Years after Bilateral Mastectomy for Breast Cancer: A Case Report and Literature Review

A review of published literature highlights the rarity of inflammatory presentations of orbital metastases from breast carcinoma, particularly in the absence of a mass, which can lead to delayed diagnosis due to overlapping symptoms with other orbital pathologies. This case illustrates the importance of maintaining a high index of suspicion for metastatic disease in patients with a history of breast cancer presenting with orbital inflammation, even years after remission. Early biopsy in atypical or steroid-refractory cases is critical to ensuring timely diagnosis and management.
