ABSTRACT
This is a case of a 69-year old male who presented with gradual loss of vision and protrusion of the right eye because of metastatic prostate carcinoma. Radiologic studies (CT scan and bone scan), PSA and prostate biopsy confirmed the diagnosis. Symptoms were abated after bilateral orchiectomy. Although considered to be unusual, orbital metastasis with its consequent eye involvement can be the presenting symptom of an elderly male with prostate cancer. (Author)
