An 81-year-old man had undergone radical nephrectomy for a renal cell carcinoma (RCC) in October 1998. Twelve years postoperatively, he developed diplopia and photophobia. Orbital metastasis of RCC was suspected and sunitinib treatment was given for 16 months. Computer tomography revealed a partial response of metastatic tumor for the first 2 months and stable disease for the next 12 months. However, it enlarged in the last 2 months. Total resection of right metastatic orbital tumor with deep lateral orbital decompression was done in January 2012. He has been well and without any local recurrence, distant metastasis or vision loss for 24 months.
