Abstract
A patient with known prostatic cancer presented with bilateral orbital masses. On CT there was a bulky soft-tissue mass in the cranial aspec t of each orbit. An open biopsy revealed undifferentiated tissue that stained strongly positive for prostatic-specific acid phosphatase, con firming the diagnosis of metastatic prostate carcinoma.
