15% of malignant orbital tumors are metastatic ones. Clinical symptoms of orbital metastatic tumors are varied. They are the following: exophthalmos, non-inflammatory swelling of eyelids, displaced eyes, eye redness and chemosis. Metastasis of breast cancer rarely causes the development of enophthalmos. The main symptom of orbital metastasis is the restriction (limitation) of eye mobility. Based on the analysis of medical histories of 78 patients, a diverse clinical picture of orbit metastatic tumors will be reported. If a cancer patient develops lesions of the orbit, one thinks about metastatic tumor of the orbit. But a cancer patient sometimes has other orbital tumors. We define them as primary multiple malignant tumors. In addition, inflammatory lesions of the orbit can develop in cancer patients. The author intends to present the unusual lesions of the orbit stimulating metastasis. Only a comprehensive assessment of anamnesis data, clinical symptoms and results of the morphological examination of biopsy allows establishing the correct diagnosis of the orbital metastatic tumor. Palliative treatment of orbital metastases improves the quality of life of cancer patients.
