title: Cystic orbital metastasis from endometrial carcinoma.
abstract: 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.
