Atypical Pulmonary Metastasis of Prostate Adenocarcinoma: A Rare Phenomenon.

Prostate cancer can metastasise to the lung. Most common presentations described in the literature are solitary pulmonary nodules, lymphangitic spread and, rarely, pleural effusion. We describe a case of prostate adenocarcinoma with diffuse bilateral reticulonodular and lymphangitic pulmonary metastasis, and malignant pleural effusion while being on androgen deprivation therapy.
Learning Points: Lymphangitic metastasis of prostate cancer to the lung with diffuse reticulonodular infiltrate is a rare presentation.In chemical castration-sensitive prostate cancer, prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels can be improving but the patient can still develop new distant metastases.
