“…Interestingly, several prior reports of metastatic NEC to the orbit showed a propensity for extraocular muscle involvement, like in our patient 6 21–23. This is unusual because the extraocular muscles are generally rare sites of orbital metastasis 24.…”

“…In the orbit, most case reports of NECs have been managed with chemotherapy with or without additional radiotherapy, though primary excisions have also been attempted in rare localised presentations as summarised in table 1 10 21. Metastatic NECs involving the orbit treated with chemoradiotherapy have been reported to have survival ranging from 3 months to 36 months,22 28 while primary localised eyelid involvement seemed to have survival to at least to 1.5 and 3 years after excision only or with adjunctive chemoradiotherapy, respectively 10 21…”

“…We found that most metastases occurred unilaterally and diffusely infiltrated intra/extraconal orbital soft tissues, causing globe displacement with proptosis, diplopia and impaired eye motility [ 3 , 4 , 5 ]. The direct compression of the optic nerve, commonly at the orbital apex, additionally led to RAPD and vision decline, with a serious impact on patients’ functional status [ 33 , 34 ]. Less frequently, paradoxical enophthalmos of the affected eye resulted from the infiltration of neoplastic cells into the extraocular muscles and retro-bulbar stromal tissues causing desmoplasia, fibrosis and globe retraction [ 35 , 36 , 37 ].…”

“…The most common primary tumors are breast cancer, melanoma, prostate cancer and gastrointestinal tumors [14,38]. In general, the prognosis is poor [39]. Patients report diplopia, pain, restricted eye movement and proptosis [21,40].…”
