title: Metastasis to optic nerve presenting as ill-fitting prosthesis.
abstract: We report a rare case of metastatic adenocarcinoma of lung in anophthalmic socket, which presented as painful and difficult prosthetic wear long after an uneventful enucleation. Bulge in the socket indicated amputation neuroma, a rarity in itself; but further evaluation concealed a yet silent pulmonary mass. No case report so far describes metastatic mass in an anophthalmic socket and we describe first case of unknown lung malignancy presenting as ill-fitting prosthesis.
