Abstract
Orbital and periocular metastatic tumors used to be considered very rare; however, with the constant updating of drugs and detection methods for cancer treatment, new chemotherapies and radiation treatments are being used. The life expectancy of cancer patients has become longer and periocular metastases are becoming easier to detect. Our knowledge of this rare disease of metastases also needs to be updated. This article reviews the incidence, symptomatic presentation, clinical features, diagnostic approaches and current treatment of metastatic tumors of the orbit and ocular adnexa in these patients.
