Abstract
Choroidal metastasis from prostate cancer is very rare and usually presents late during the disease. Since 2010, many new drugs were approved in the treatment of castrationresistant prostate cancer, including Abiraterone acetate. We report a case of bilateral choroidal metastases from prostate cancer 3 months after the initiation of Abiraterone. Abiraterone was not efficient in controlling the progression of the disease in this case, especially the choroidal metastasis. More case reports are essential in order to evaluate the role of Abiraterone in controlling choroidal metastases from prostate adenocarcinoma.Entities:
