Resumen

La metástasis orbitaria es una localización infrecuente dentro de la diseminación tumoral del cáncer de próstata. Del mismo modo, resulta excepcional que ésta sea la responsable de las manifestaciones clínicas que condicionan el diagnóstico inicial de dicha neoplasia.

Presentamos el caso de un paciente con adenocarcinoma de próstata que debutó con alteraciones de la sensibilidad facial y exoftalmos del ojo derecho. Describimos como se llegó al diagnóstico definitivo y la respuesta al tratamiento hormonal supresivo. La supervivencia del paciente ha sido superior al de la mayoría de casos documentados, superando los 30 meses de seguimiento.

Palabras clave:
Metástasis retrorbitaria
Adenocarcinoma de próstata

Abstract

Orbital metastasis is an unusual localization within tumoral dissemination of prostatic cancer. Similarly, it is rare that orbital metastasis might be responsible for the clinic manifestations that determine the initial diagnosis of neoplasia.

We illustrate the case of a patient suffering from prostatic adernocarcinoma that displayed alterations of facial sensitivity and right eye exophthalmos. We describe how the final diagnosis was reached and the patient´s response to the suppressive hormonal treatment. The patient´s rate of survival has proved to be longer than the rest of cases documented, with over 30-month follow-up.

Key words:
Retrorbitarial metastasis
Prostatic adenocarcinoma
Exophthalmos
