[Pulmonary carcinomatous lymphangitis of prostatic origin, disclosed by acute respiratory insufficiency, regressing by treatment with an LH-RH agonist].
Carcinomatous lymphangitis of prostatic origin is infrequent and usually carries a poor prognosis. The authors report a case of pulmonary carcinomatous lymphangitis related to a prostatic carcinoma. This case was remarkable for its acute mode of revelation and for its favourable outcome under treatment with LH-RH agonists.
