A member asked:
Could an eye orbital mass be metastatic lung cancer from a 11 mm lung nodule, with no swollen glands or other evidence of cancer?

Time has taught me..: ..That with cancer almost anything is possible. That said, it would be unlikely for a 1cm lung "nodule" to go only to the orbit, especially if it is not proven to be cancer. I would suggest you discuss this with your doc (there may be details he/she knows that we don't) but seems to me that further imaging or maybe a biopsy are considerations if either of those 2 lesions are suspicious enough.

Possibly: Depending on the type of lung cancer involved, such as small cell carcinoma, the answer is yes, but you would also expect to see other metastatic disease and lymph node involvement. Otherwise, it is highly unlikely that the orbital mass is related to the lung nodule.
