Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is the most common malignancy to cause metastasis to sinonasal cavity. These metastases can occasional cause invasion into the orbit. Isolated intraconal intraorbital metastasis from RCC is very rare. We hereby describe a case of 72-year-old female, who underwent right nephrectomy for RCC, 8 years back, and now presenting with a space occupying lesion in the right intraorbital intraconal compartment with no involvement of the paranasal sinuses. En bloc resection of the tumor was achieved via transnasal endoscopic approach. This is a rare case where minimally invasive surgery was done for metastatic lesion, with minimal postoperative morbidity.
