Metastasis from breast cancer to the head and neck region is a rare occurrence. However, of all the cancers that metastasise to the orbit, breast cancer is the leading cause in women. Usually, breast cancer metastasises to the fat and muscles in the orbit, and involvement of the bony orbital wall is rare. We report a case of a 52-year-old woman who presented with metastasis to the left greater wing of the sphenoid and adjacent squamous temporal bone. Ophthalmoplegia and proptosis were the initial manifestations in this patient, which lead to the diagnosis of the underlying breast cancer.
乳腺癌转移至头颈部区域较为罕见。然而，在所有转移至眼眶的癌症中，乳腺癌是女性的主要病因。通常，乳腺癌转移至眼眶的脂肪和肌肉，累及眶骨壁的情况罕见。我们报告一例52岁女性患者，其出现蝶骨大翼及相邻颞骨鳞部转移。该患者最初的表现为眼肌麻痹和眼球突出，进而诊断出潜在的乳腺癌。
