title: [Surgical treated pulmonary metastasis from prostatic cancer; report of a case].
abstract: A 74-year-old man who had been treated by endocrine therapy for prostatic cancer for 7 years was pointed out an abnormal shadow on the chest X-ray. Computed tomography showed solitary tumor in the lower lobe of the left lung. Transbronchial lung biopsy revealed pulmonary metastasis form prostatic cancer. Because no other metastatic lesions were detected, the patient underwent surgery for pulmonary lesion. The wedge resection of the left lung was performed. Microscopically, the diagnosis of pulmonary and multiple pleural metastases was established. The pulmonary metastasis without bone nor lymph node metastasis is rare. Pleural metastasis should be considered in case of pulmonary metastasis from prostatic cancer. Surgical indication for pulmonary metastasis from prostatic cancer has to be decided carefully.
