Metastatic tumors of the orbit are considered to be much rarer than orbital tumors which originate in the lacrimal apparatus or paranasal sinuses. A 56-year-old male was admitted with right exophthalmus due to a tumor situated in the lateral portion of the orbit. Pathologic examination after exploratory operation revealed probable metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma. Despite chemotherapy and radiation therapy to the orbit, he deteriorated gradually and died in hepatic coma. Autopsy showed multiple hepatocellular carcinomas with metastases to the right orbit, right cerebral lobe and dura mater, and right adrenal gland.
