Ocular metastasis after breast cancer

Abstract

Metastatic breast cancer is uncommon to the eye and hard to be prognosticated. It is frequently associated to metastasis of the central nervous system (CNS). The most present symptom is the progressive loss of the visual perceptiveness. We presented a patient case with breast cancer confirmed by histopathological – invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC) – initial stage T3N1M0 (EC III). Neoadjuvant chemotherapy and radical mastectomy procedure were realized. The magnetic resonance carried out after the ache at the left ocular region showed image of the posterior superior fossa of the ipsilateral orbit. The immohistochemistry, after neurosurgical procedure, determined brain metastasis diagnosis, primary of the mamma. The patient remains stable and in positive process.
