[Complete remission of endobronchial, parenchymal and hilar lymphatic lung metastases of prostatic carcinoma after anti-androgenic hormotherapy].
A 65 year old male Negro had respiratory and urinary symptoms for the last 5 months. The work-up disclosed a prostatic carcinoma with metastases in bones, bronchus, lung parenchyma and hilar lymphnodes. Prostatic and bronchial biopsies revealed carcinoma; specific prostatic antigen was detected in both. A prostatectomy with bilateral orchiectomy was performed followed by anti-androgenic hormotherapy. Complete remission of metastatic bronchial, lung parenchyma and lymphatic lesions was observed; bone lesions did not change.


CONCLUSIONS
lung and bronchial metastases of prostatic carcinoma may resemble primitive bronchial tumor; complete remission with anti-androgenic therapy is possible, saving the patient from unnecessary radio and/or chemotherapy.
