title: [Regression of a choroidal metastasis from prostate adenocarcinoma after hormonal therapy].
abstract: METHODS
  We report a case of a patient diagnosed with prostatic adenocarcinoma with multiple bone metastases and a choroidal metastasis in his left eye. Hormonal therapy with an anti-androgen and a LH-RH agonist was followed by regression of the choroidal mass over a period of 2 months. No metastatic recurrence has been demonstrated after a follow-up period of 14 months.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Complete resolution of choroidal metastases of prostatic adenocarcinoma with hormonal therapy is exceptional, but the effect of this treatment on such metastases should be observed before recommending radiation therapy.
