title: Paranasal sinus and retro-orbital metastasis in a case of breast carcinoma: a clinicoradiological review.
abstract: Metastatic spread from non-head and neck tumours (H&N) to the paranasal and orbital region is extremely rare. We present a case of breast cancer metastasis to the left sphenoid wing, lateral wall left orbit, lateral wall left sphenoid sinus, medial and lateral wall left maxillary sinus and left pterygoid plates. We provide an exhaustive clinicoradiological imaging with a brief literature review.
