| Abstract: | Adenocarcinoma of prostate typically involves axial skeleton and has been infrequently reported in unusual sites like orbit. It is noteworthy that upto 1989, only 28 cases of occulo-orbital metastases of prostate cancer (PC) had been reported in the literature. PC is mostly known to metastasize to the bony skeleton. The lack of skeletal metastasis does not exclude the possibility of visceral/ distant metastasis, and serum PSA levels usually do not correlate with the extent of metastatic disease. Here in, we report a rare case of unilateral orbital metastasis from PC |
