Abstract
PURPOSE: To report a case of prostate cancer metastatic to the orbit that was initially misdiagnosed as orbital cellulitis with a subperiosteal abscess. METHOD: Case report. CONCLUSION: Metastatic disease should be considered in the differential diagnosis of orbital cellulitis, especially when key clinical features such as sinusitis are absent.
