title: [Echographic findings in metastization in an extraocular muscle].
abstract: Clinical, echographic, radiological (CT, NMR), and histopathological findings in a 57-year-old male patient who presented with proptosis of the left eye and diplopia caused by a histologically proven metastasis of a clinically silent small-cell carcinoma of the lung. Echographic problems of the differential diagnosis of orbital metastases are discussed.
