A 59-year-old woman experienced progressive periorbital swelling over six weeks, which did not respond to topical antibiotics and steroids. Her medical history revealed a left mastectomy and axillary lymph node dissection nine years earlier for stage IIIA lobular carcinoma of the breast, followed by adjuvant chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and five years of tamoxifen treatment. Despite no prior evidence of recurrence or metastasis, the periorbital swelling was identified as a manifestation of recurrent breast carcinoma.
