Abstract
IntroductionProstate carcinoma metastasizes usually to lymph nodes and bone. Its metastases to the orbital cavity remain very rare. ObservationWe report here the case of an 80-year-old man diagnosed with a non-metastatic prostate adenocarcinoma 9 months earlier, who was found to have an orbital metastasis revealed by a proptosis of his left eye. He received hormonal therapy, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. DiscussionOrbital metastases from prostate carcinoma have many similarities to other orbital metastases in their presentation. Their diagnosis is easily done when there is a history of a primary tumor. Presenting symptoms include proptosis, limitation of eye movements, diplopia and decreased vision. ConclusionThrough this case report and a review of literature, we discuss the incidence, the clinical presentation and the management of these tumors.
