Orbital metastasis of prostatic carcinoma

Can J Ophthalmol. 1983 Aug;18(5):248-50.

Abstract

This paper describes a man with previously undetected prostatic carcinoma who presented with mild symptoms due to an orbital metastasis. The case is unusual in that the patient was relatively asymptomatic and had 6/7 vision. Carcinoma of the prostate metastatic to the orbit is rare; this is only the 22nd case in the literature.
