Orbital Metastasis From Prostatic Carcinoma

ACUTE APPENDICITIS DUE TO METASTASIS OF PROSTATIC CARCINOMA

A 70 year old male presented with right lower quadrant pain and anorexia for about 72 hours prior to hospital admission. He underwent laparotomy with impression of acute appendicitis. The operative finding was an inflamed tumoral appendix without appendicular base involvement, and appendectomy was done. The patient had an uneventful post-op course. Due to the pathology report of prostatic ...

Undescended epididymo-testicular metastasis from prostatic carcinoma.

A case of orbital metastasis from prostatic carcinoma as an initial symptom.

Orbital metastasis caused by prostate cancer is rare. We report a case of prostate cancer diagnosed from the initial ocular signs with complaints of decreased vision and exophthalmos. The orbital tumor was surgically removed and endocrine therapy was performed subsequently. Metastatic carcinoma of the prostate should be considered in the elderly male with exophthalmos.

Cutaneous metastasis in prostatic carcinoma.

Sir, Almost all prostate cancers are adenocarcinoma. The age-specific mortality and absolute number of deaths from prostate cancer have been decreasing since 1993.[1] There is an almost 8:1 ratio in the incidence of prostate-specific mortality. The disease locally invades along the nerve sheath and metastasizes through lymphatic chains or blood vessels.[2] Distant metastases are common when lym...

Orbital Metastasis of Breast Carcinoma

We report a case of orbital metastasis in a previously diagnosed metastatic breast cancer in a 46-year old woman presenting with diplopia and proptosis of her left eye bulb. An orbital computed-tomography (CT) and a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) both revealed an intra-orbital extra-bulbar mass of 1.5 × 3 cm in size, in the left orbit. The patient had been diagnosed with stage IV breast cance...
