Here, we report a 60-year-old woman with stage IV colon adenocarcinoma, who was admitted with ophthalmic complaints while under systemic chemotherapy. The patient had conjunctival chemosis, severe exophthalmos, <br />ptosis, and limitation of movement on the left eye. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a 35x21 mm soft tissue mass in the left orbita. The patient refused further treatment and was released in 15 days. The treatment of metastatic orbital tumors is often multidisciplinary; combining local treatments (surgery and radiotherapy), systemic treatments (chemotherapy, biological and hormonal therapies), and palliative approaches (mainly based on corticosteroids) together. The disease has poor prognosis due to dissemination of the systemic cancer. <br /> </p>}, number={3}, publisher={Ramazan AKDEMİR}
