Carcinoma Metastatic to the Eye and Orbit. III. A Clinicopathologic Study of 28 Cases Metastatic to the Orbit.

摘要

Two hundred and twenty-seven cases of carcinoma metastatic to the eye and orbit have been reviewed previously. The orbit alone was involved in 28 cases; these lesions constitute the basis of this clinicopathologic study. The median survival of patients with carcinoma metastatic to the orbit was 15.6 months from the time of orbital surgery. This was much better than the median survival of the 227 patients in the overall study (7.4 months) and far better than the median survival of the patients with metastasis to the anterior segment of the eye (only 5.4 months).
