  • Title: Unilateral exophthalmos revealing metastatic prostate cancer.
    Author: Adli Oel Y, Elammari JE, Elfassi MJ, Farih MH.
    Journal: Urology; 2012 Mar; 79(3):e40-1. PubMed ID: 22245296.
    Abstract:
    Prostate cancer, when metastatic, typically involves the axial skeleton. Sphenoidal metastasis is uncommon. We report a rare case of a 75-year-old man who presented with isolated unilateral exophthalmos. Digital rectal examination and serum prostate-specific antigen level were suggestive of metastatic prostate cancer. The prostate biopsy and imaging findings confirmed the source of the exophthalmos as a sphenoidal metastasis of an aggressive prostate adenocarcinoma.
