Orbital metastasis from prostatic carcinoma.
A rare case of orbital metastasis from carcinoma of the prostate in a 76-year-old man who presented with pain in his left eye, mild proptosis and reduced visual acuity is reported. Cranial CT scanning demonstrated large bone metastases in the left orbit. The patient underwent orbital evisceration. The histopathological studies that were based on the morphological and immunohistochemical findings confirmed the histological diagnosis of orbital metastasis arising from prostatic carcinoma with neuroendocrine features.
