title: [Apropos of 2 cases of oculo-orbital metastases of a prostatic epithelioma].
abstract: The authors report one case of choroid metastasis and one case of orbital metastasis from a prostatic carcinoma. A review of the literature confirms the exceptional nature of these metastatic sites (28 cases), which constitute a poor short-term prognostic factor. Palliative hormonal treatment allows regression of the ophthalmic signs without modifying the course of the disease.
