title: [Pulmonary metastasizing of prostatic carcinoma--source of errors in the ambulatory x-ray examination of lungs].
abstract: It is reported on eight patients with a primary carcinoma of the prostatic gland who were admitted to the hospital for clinical clarification of conspicuous pulmonary findings. The radiological findings of a general radiograph of the thorax are multiform and for themselves alone they do not permit an etiological coordination. For this reason the demand can be derived in patients of the adequate age group with tumour symptomatology can also be thought of a carcinoma of the prostatic gland and already during the examination in the outpatient department to carry out a palpatory examination and, if possible, to make a general radiograph of spinal column and pelvis, since in these cases the diagnosis can be made already before admission.
