Ⅰ.緒 言
転移性の眼窩内腫瘍は比較的稀であり,米国単施設の30年間1,264例の眼窩内腫瘍において,7%が転移性腫瘍で,うち半数以上が乳がん原発であったと報告されている15).国によりがん腫の頻度に差異があるにもかかわらず,眼窩内転移の原発巣は乳がんが多い.豪州の多施設調査の21年間80例の報告では,原発巣は乳がんが最多(29%.以下,悪性黒色腫20%,前立腺がん13%)18),ドイツの単施設14例の眼窩内転移の報告では,乳がん(8例),肺がん(4例),その他(2例)であり,半数以上が乳がんとなっている13).Raapら13)は既報の症例報告72症例のまとめについても報告しており,やはり乳がんが最多で29%であった.本邦では乳がんの発症数は増加しており,脳転移を治療する機会の多い脳神経外科医が,この稀な眼窩内転移に遭遇することも予想される.今回われわれは,乳がんの両側眼窩内転移の2例を経験したので報告する.
Two cases of breast cancer with bilateral orbital metastases associated with intracranial metastases are presented. Case 1:A 61-year-old woman who was diagnosed with breast cancer 14 years earlier presented with rapid deterioration of visual acuity, eye pain, and limitation of left-sided extraocular motility. Magnetic resonance(MR)images showed an enhanced lesion in the left orbital apex, ethmoid sinus, and right middle fossa. The first gamma knife radiotherapy(35 Gy, 5 Fr)was performed successfully, but was followed by recurrence 18 months later in the right intraorbital, where newly formed iso-intensity masses in the extraconal compartment were found. The second gamma knife radiosurgery was performed for three masses(20 Gy). Case 2:A 35-year-old woman with breast cancer who was diagnosed 22 months earlier was treated for meningeal carcinomatosis by whole-brain radiation(30 Gy, 10 Fr)and intrathecal chemotherapy. Eight months later, swelling in both eyelids and limitation of extraocular motility developed rapidly. MR imaging revealed an infiltrating lesion in the cone with heterogenous signal that was encasing, but not infiltrating the optic nerves. The extraconal lesion extended into the soft tissue of the lower eye lid. She expired one week after diagnosis. With the increasing number of long-term survivors with breast cancer, intraorbital metastases may be found during the course of treatment for intracranial lesions. Understanding the unique clinical presentation and characteristic MR findings of this rare entity are emphasized.
