Abstract

Prostate cancer usually metastasizes to regional lymph nodes and bone followed by distant organs. Here, we present a case of elderly man who had isolated respiratory symptoms and finally turned out to be metastasis from prostate cancer. Rarity of isolated pulmonary metastases of prostate cancer without bone and lymph node involment prompted us to report this case which was diagnosed by CT guided FNAC.
