Hepatocellular carcinoma metastatic to the orbit in an African patient.

Primary hepatocellular carcinoma rarely metastasizes to the orbit. We report a 19-year-old black man from Zimbabwe who had hepatomegaly and an orbital mass. An orbital biopsy suggested a diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma. Immunohistochemical stains supported the diagnosis. To our knowledge, this is only the second reported case of hepatocellular carcinoma metastasizing to the orbit and the first such reported case from Africa.
