A 76-year-old man presented to the author’s skin cancer clinic with a deeply invasive, erosive basal cell carcinoma that had invaded his entire orbit and surrounding tissues. The tumour had been worsening over the previous decade. However, the patient only sought medical attention because his eyeball had become detached i.e., complete globe luxation had occurred prior in the weeks prior to his clinic visit, with the detached eyeball presented as evidence. This case of a BCC eroding the orbit illustrates the fact that while basal cell cancers rarely metastasize—when neglected—they can cause severe consequences.
