Renal cell carcinoma presenting with orbital metastasis as the initial symptom: A case report
This case highlights the importance of considering metastatic disease in the differential diagnosis of orbital masses, even in the absence of systemic symptoms. The rarity of orbital metastasis from RCC suggests possible organ-specific metastatic pathways and underscores the need for further investigation into tumor heterogeneity and the molecular mechanisms of site-specific metastasis. Awareness of the diagnostic and management strategies for orbital metastases is clinically important.
