A 72-year-old man was admitted to our hospital complaining of diplopia and right exophthalmos. Craniography and CT scan showed thickening of the right orbital roof and no intracranial lesion. Total acid phosphatase and prostatic acid phosphatase were high. Bone scintigraphy revealed high uptake at that lesion and the right pelvis. Unroofing of the right orbit and opening of the optic canal were performed in order to reduce intraorbital pressure. Microscopic examination revealed a metastatic lesion of prostatic cancer. Postoperatively, the patient was treated with "Honvan" and the course has been good.
