title: Breast cancer metastatic to the eyelids.
abstract: Metastases to the eyelids are rare. They may appear as diffuse swellings, nodules or ulcerations. Most often they correspond to the dissemination of a breast adenocarcinoma. An 83 year old woman is reported with mammary adenocarcinoma metastasizing to the eyelids.
