Abstract:
PURPOSE:To describe the clinical presentation and histologic findings in a patient with metastatic mesothelioma presenting to the ophthalmologist with nonaxial proptosis. DESIGN:Case report. METHODS:A 55-year-old man presented with a short history of progressive ocular discomfort and vertical diplopia. Clinical examination identified nonaxial proptosis. Subsequent computed tomography showed a large extraconal mass consistent with a malignant process. Three months earlier the patient had been diagnosed with pleural mesothelioma. Unfortunately, he died 3 months after his ophthalmic presentation. Postmortem examination confirmed metastatic mesothelioma in the orbital roof that was histologically identical to the primary pleural malignancy. CONCLUSION:Pleural mesothelioma can metastasize to the orbit, causing proptosis.
