Abstract
An infiltrative orbital mass. The most common primary cancer to cause orbital metastasis is breast cancer. Nonspecific on CT: there is usually soft tissue attenuation; may be well defined but also infiltrative patterns are not uncommon; may cause bone destruction. Contrast enhancement is a common feature. MRI – T1 – soft tissue iso-intense, contrast enhancement. Slightly hype-intense relative to EOM on T2. DWI may vary depending on the cellularity of the lesion with no definite ADC threshold. In certain subtypes (scirrhous/cicatrizing) relative enophthalmos can be seen on axial view. Orbital fat and EOM involvement is typical.
