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[1]. PC is mostly known to metastasize to the bony skeleton [2]. 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 [3]. Here in, we report a rare case of unilateral orbital metastasis from PC.Downloads
