ABSTRACT
A variety of clinical presentations of malignant tumour metastases outside of the eye and orbit, were seen in four patients a 52-year-old man who was scheduled to have a surgical removal of an oesophageal carcinoma and who presented with retinal detachment, a 58-year-old woman in whom retinopathy was the first sign of a cervical carcinoma (cancer-associated retinopathy), a 71-year-old man who had been treated for colon carcinoma and who presented with an orbital mass, and finally a 67-year-old woman with an orbital mass as the first sign of a Grawitz tumour. Metastasis should be considered in patients with a history of malignancy, who present with ophthalmologic complaints. Further it should be borne in mind that eye problems can be the first sign of oncological disease outside the eye.
