Fronto-orbital metastasis of a prostatic adenocarcinoma

Abstract

Prostate cancer often spreads to bony sites, but other metastatic sites are exceptional. Brain localization accounts for less than 4% of postmortem cases.The cerebral metastases of a prostatic ADK are rare, the prognosis is unfortunate and the treatment is based on androgen deprivation and radiotherapy. We describe a case of orbital metastasis of prostatic adenocarcinoma and we highlight the diagnostic and therapeutic singularity of this affection.
