Abstract
We report a simultaneous vitreous oculi and brain metastases from a non-seminomatous testis tumor, which is unique in the peer-reviewed literature. Intraorbital metastatic tumors are rarely encountered pathologies. Testis as a primary site for orbital metastases is even rarer as compared to more common other primary sites such as breast, prostate, kidney, lung and skin. Besides, orbital metastases mostly involve periorbital structures and metastasis to vitreus is relatively rare. If present, simultaneous metastases to brain and orbit from an embrional germ cell tumor of testis may be a grave sign for prognosis, as our patient was lost within few months despite intensive modern chemotherapy, radiotherapy and surgical resection.
