Prostatic adenocarcinoma presenting with metastatic frontal bone involvement and orbital invasion

Orbit. 2010 Aug;29(4):213-5. doi: 10.3109/01676831003664301.

Abstract

We present a rare case of prostatic adenocarcinoma presenting with metastatic frontal bone involvement with subsequent spread to the orbit. Although prostatic adenocarcinoma has a strong tendency to metastasize to bone, particularly axial skeletal bone, frontal bone involvement is rare and subsequent orbital involvement is even more so.
