Abstract
Case report

We present the case of a 56 year-old male with a pulsating lesion in the temporal region of the left orbit as presenting sign of a renal cell carcinoma. A review is also presented of all cases of orbital metastases diagnosed in our hospital between 1957 and 2012.

Discussion

Carcinoma is the most common malignancy involving the kidney but, only rarely does it metastasize to the orbit. As these tumors can be confused with other amelanotic or vascular tumors, a high index of suspicion is required for early detection and management of the primary tumor.

Keywords:
Orbital metastases
Malignant orbital tumor
Pulsatile tumor of the orbit
Renal cell carcinoma
Resumen
Caso clínico

Se presenta el caso de un varón de 56 años con tumoración pulsátil en región temporal de la órbita izquierda como signo de presentación de un carcinoma metastásico de riñón, así como una revisión de todos los casos diagnosticados de metástasis orbitarias en nuestro hospital entre 1957 y 2012.

Discusión

El carcinoma es el tumor renal más frecuente, sin embargo, rara vez metastatiza a la órbita. Ya que estos tumores pueden confundirse con otras lesiones amelanóticas o vasculares, es necesario un alto grado de sospecha diagnóstica para la detección precoz y tratamiento del tumor primario.

Palabras clave:
Metástasis orbitaria
Tumor maligno orbitario
Tumor pulsátil orbitario
