Abstract
The article presents a case study of a 61-year-old female patient with divergent strabismus and a loss of sight in the left eye. It mentions the patient underwent a right mastectomy and axillary lymph node dissection followed by an adjuvant chemotherapy consisting of six cycles of adriamycin and cyclophosphamide; and also mentions the morphology and immunophenotype of the tumour cells were consistent with an orbital metastasis of the ductal carcinoma of the breast.
