Abstract

A 50-year-old man had orbital pain, diplopia, proptosis of left eye, hypesthesia on the left forehead and pain of left extremities of one month's duration. Four months prior to visit, he had undergone 131I-Lipiodol therapy for hepatocellular carcinoma of the liver. CT scan showed a homogenous, well-defined mass on superotemporal portion of the left orbit. The mass extended into anterior cranial fossa with bony destruction. Orbital CT-guided fine needle biopsy was performed. And pathologic findings confirmed metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma.
