Abstract
BACKGROUND Intraocular metastases arising from solid tumors are found in approximately 2% of patients with metastatic tumor diseases and are therefore more frequent than originally assumed. They often affect the uvea and are associated with a poor prognosis. Due to the difficult diagnosis and an inconsistent treatment regimen, ophthalmologists have a special responsibility here. OBJECTIVE This article gives a summary of the various types of intraocular metastases with respect to clinical features, diagnostics, treatment and prognosis as well as recommendations for follow-up care. METHODS A selective literature search was carried out on the topic of intraocular metastases using PubMed and Google Scholar. RESULTS Intraocular metastases most frequently affect the uvea, specifically the choroid. In most cases the underlying disease is breast or lung cancer, but other rarer primary tumors have also been reported in the literature. Metastatic lesions can show very different morphological manifestations but can be distinguished based on the corresponding structure of manifestation in the eye and with the aid of targeted staging, thus providing valid information on the type of primary tumor. The treatment is partly experimental and usually depends on the primary tumor and leading symptoms of the patient. A differentiation between a curative or palliative treatment situation must always be made. CONCLUSION Intraocular metastases are the most frequent intraocular tumor and are usually associated with a poor prognosis. Accurate diagnostics for finding the treatment as well as interdisciplinary collaboration and the presentation of the patient on the tumor board are essential.

Abstract
Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) is a transmembrane protein with overexpression in most prostate cancer cells. Gallium-68-(68Ga) PSMA positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) imaging is a game-changer in the management of prostate cancer. 68Ga PSMA PET/CT scan is advanced and a promising radioligand has high sensitivity in determining lesions of prostate cancer with a high tumor to background ratio. The most common areas of metastasis are the bone and pelvic lymph nodes. The prognosis of prostate cancer is mainly determined by the status of metastases. The presence and the localization of metastases affects treatment planning. In our cases, we presented some examples of uncommon sites of metastases such as the brain, adrenal glands, penis and orbit. Improvements in imaging techniques, such as 68Ga PSMA PET/CT have led to the possibility to make more determi nation of rare metastase sites in prostate cancer patients.

Prostate Cancer Detected by Choroidal Tumor and Complete Response to Hormonal Therapy: Case Report and Literature Review of 24 Patients With Choroidal Metastasis From Prostate Cancer.

Abstract
Metastatic choroidal tumors derived from prostate cancer are rare. In this study,
we report a patient who manifested a choroidal tumor as the initial presenting
sign of prostate cancer and review 23 patients with choroidal metastasis of
prostate cancer in the literature to answer a clinical question how the
choroidal metastases would respond to hormonal therapy. A 73-year-old man
presented with a choroidal tumor in the right eye. He was in good health and had
no previous history except for current hemodialysis in 3 years due to chronic
renal failure as a sequel to glomerulonephritis. With the diagnosis of a
probable metastatic tumor, positron emission tomography was performed to
disclose high-uptake sites in multiple bones, lymph nodes, and the prostate,
together with multiple nodular lesions in bilateral lungs on computed tomography
(CT) scan. Serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) was elevated to 541 ng/mL,
which supported prostate cancer as the primary site. He had degarelix injection,
and the choroidal tumor resolved rapidly and became flat degeneration in a
month. Prostate biopsy showed poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma, and he
underwent surgical castration. He had no medication until 3 years later when he
showed gradual increase of serum PSA up to 6.05 ng/mL and multiple bony
metastases on CT scan. Bicalutamide, switched to enzalutamide and then to
abiraterone, led to the undetectable level of serum PSA until the last visit
with no relapse of the choroidal metastasis, 6.8 years after the initial visit.
In the literature review of 24 patients with choroidal metastasis of prostate
cancer, including this patient, 8 patients presented a choroidal tumor as the
initial sign and the choroidal lesions mostly showed complete response to
hormonal therapy. Among 13 patients who were frequently in the course of
hormonal therapy, choroidal metastases showed complete or partial response to
external beam radiation to the eye in 11 patients and episcleral plaque
radiotherapy in 2 patients. In conclusion, metastatic choroidal tumors of
prostate cancer would show good response to hormonal therapy when the therapy
has not been initiated. Hormone-resistant choroidal metastases in the
therapeutic course of prostate cancer could be managed successfully by external
beam radiation to the eye.

Abstract
Prostate cancer (PC) is prone to bone metastases, but very rarely it can spread to soft tissues. In the head and neck region, PC can metastasize to the orbital soft tissue, causing various symptoms such as vision loss. In this report, we describe the case of a 79-year-old man with PC metastasis in the orbital apex. He presented to an ophthalmologist at our hospital with progressively worsening vision in his left eye over 3 to 4 months. He complained of a drooping eyelid in the same eye; thus, intracranial disease was suspected. Closer inspection with head computed tomography revealed a space-occupying lesion from the orbit to the posterior ethmoid sinus, and he was referred to our department. He had a history of PC, and we performed endoscopic sinus surgery for the diagnosis of malignancy, including metastasis of PC. As a result, the mass was diagnosed as PC metastasis by pathological examination. The patient began androgen blockade therapy and 3 months postoperatively, magnetic resonance imaging revealed that the extraconal orbital mass had decreased significantly. It is important to determine the metastases of PC in the paranasal region when the patient has a preexisting medical history.

Abstract
A 66-year-old man with castration-resistant prostate cancer was evaluated with F-prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) 1007 PET/CT, which revealed extensive PSMA-positive skeletal metastases in the skull, thorax, spine, pelvis, and extremities. He was then treated Lu-PSMA-617 therapy. Twenty-four-hour SPECT/CT revealed additional activity not seen with F-PSMA adjacent to his left eye. The lesion was biopsied after the first cycle due to pain. This activity was not visible on SPECT/CT after the second treatment cycle, and his eye pain has resolved.
