Prostate cancer is second most common cancer with frequent metastasis occurring to bone. We report a unique case of soft tissue and bony orbital metastasis from carcinoma prostate. The patient presented with orbital metastasis after defaulting to the advised treatment. He responded well to radiation therapy and the lesion regressed completely. Our patient was diagnosed to have an oligo-metastatic carcinoma of the prostate. He was non-compliant with treatment and presented to us with proptosis, which was later diagnosed to be an orbital metastasis from prostate cancer. It responded well to the external beam chemotherapy. Orbital metastasis is a rare but known complication of carcinoma prostate. One must consider the diagnosis of orbital metastasis from carcinoma prostate in an elderly male presenting with proptosis.

“…Typically, highly curable, prostate adenocarcinoma is the second leading cause of cancer-related death due to metastatic disease to the bone in 86% of the cases [2]. There has, however, been only 3 reported cases of metastatic prostate adenocarcinoma to the clivus [3][4][5]. Herein we present the case of a male who presented with a cranial nerve VI palsy with imaging showing an infiltrative skull base mass, who was ultimately diagnosed with prostate adenocarcinoma metastatic to the clivus.…”

Cranial Nerve VI Palsy as Presenting Sign of Previously Undiagnosed Metastatic Prostate Adenocarcinoma to the Clivus

Prostate adenocarcinoma is the most common malignancy in males in the United States and is typically highly treatable. Herein we present a case report of a male with a history of prostate adenocarcinoma previously managed with definitive radiation therapy who presented with sudden onset diplopia and examination consistent with an abducens palsy. He was ultimately found to have prostate adenocarcinoma metastatic to the clivus causing cranial neuropathy, and was referred for systemic chemotherapy and palliative Cyberknife stereotactic radiosurgery. While relatively rare, metastatic disease should be included in the differential diagnosis of atypical skull base lesions.
