Ocular metastases from breast cancer.
Breast cancer is the most common cancer to metastasize to the eye. This is thought to be a rare occurrence but may be more common than thought. Two cases with eye metastases from breast cancer are presented to acquaint physicians with this entity. Other tumors that metastasize to the eye, the anatomic location of metastases in the eye, and the evaluation, treatment, and prognosis of breast cancer metastatic to the eye are discussed.
