Orbital metastasis from transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder.
Transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) is a common bladder tumour, 10-15% of which will exhibit invasive behaviour. About 50% of patients with invasive TCC will eventually develop distant metastases, usually to lymph nodes, lung or bones. The case is reported of bladder TCC metastasizing to the orbit.
