title: Ocular and orbital metastatic carcinoma.
abstract: One hundred cases of metastatic carcinoma to the eye and orbit were reviewed. Fifty-nine patients were female and 35 were male. The average age of the females was 60 years and the males 52 years. Breast carcinoma was the most common primary in the females and lung carcinoma in the males. The left eye and orbit were involved more frequently than the right (30 to 27). The choroid and the orbit were the most common site of metastasis.
