[Mediastinal lymph nodes during the course of a metastatic prostate cancer]

Prostate carcinoma is one of the most frecuent cancers in men. Significant numbers of patients have regional lymph node and bone metastases during the course of the disease. Mediastinal lymphadenopathy and cutaneous metastases are uncommon and signify well-advanced disease. We report the case of a patient with prostate cancer who develops mediastinal lymphadenopathy, pulmonary nodules and cutaneous metastases 8 years after the diagnosis.
