Abstract
None:
We report a rare case of ethmoidal metastasis from a prostatic carcinoma in an elderly patient. This metastasis was revealed solely by exophthalmos, with no associated nasal symptoms. Radiological and histopathological analyses confirmed the unusual diagnosis of a sinus metastasis from a prostatic adenocarcinoma. This case highlights the importance of a thorough diagnostic approach in the presence of an uncommon unilateral orbitopathy.

02:07Tumor Progression
Tumor progression is a phenomenon where the pre-formed tumor acquires successive mutations to become clinically more aggressive and malignant. In the 1950s, Foulds first described the stepwise progression of cancer cells through successive stages.
Colon cancer is one of the best-documented examples of tumor progression. Early mutation in the APC gene in colon cells causes a small growth on the colon wall called a polyp. With time, this polyp grows into a benign, pre-cancerous tumor. Further...

02:30Metastasis
Metastasis is the spread of cancer cells from the original site to distant locations in the body. Cancer cells can spread via blood vessels (hematogenous) as well as lymph vessels in the body.
Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition
The epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition or EMT is a developmental process commonly observed in wound healing, embryogenesis, and cancer metastasis. EMT is induced by transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) or receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) ligands, which further...
