Proptotic panophthalmitis and bilateral supraclavicular lymph node metastases from prostatic carcinoma. A case report and literature review

"The authors describe a 68-year old Nigerian male farmer who had right-sided panophthalmitis in association with proptotic orbital metastasis and bilateral suprachlavicular lymphadenopathy from disseminated prostatic carcinoma. This combination; in one patient; of such unusual features of disseminated prostatic carcinoma as orbital metastasis with panophthalmitis and bilateral ""sign of Troisier""; albeit in the absence of urinary symptoms; to our knowledge; has not been reported previously. The patient showed initial response to diethylstilbestrol administration and had the panophthalmitic right eye eviscerated after antibiotic therapy."
