Cystic orbital metastasis from endometrial carcinoma.
OBJECTIVE
To describe a rare orbital metastasis with atypical presentation.


METHODS
Retrospective case report.


RESULTS
The patient presented with a rapid onset of a cystic orbital lesion after a presumptive diagnosis of endometrial carcinoma that had been completely excised eight months ago. This was the initial presentation of widespread metastasis.


CONCLUSIONS
Endometrial carcinomas can metastasize to the orbit and may have a very atypical presentation.
