title: Fine needle aspiration cytology of prostatic adenocarcinoma metastatic to the lung confirmed by the immunoperoxidase technique.
abstract: Two cases of prostatic adenocarcinoma metastatic to the lung are presented. The prostatic origin of the metastatic carcinomas was confirmed by immunocytochemical demonstration of prostate-specific antigen and prostatic acid phosphatase in cellular samples obtained by fine needle aspiration of the pulmonary lesions.
