ABSTRACT
Prostate cancer can metastasise to the lung. Most common presentations described in the literature are solitary pulmonary nodules, lymphangitic spread and, rarely, pleural effusion. We describe a case of prostate adenocarcinoma with diffuse bilateral reticulonodular and lymphangitic pulmonary metastasis, and malignant pleural effusion while being on androgen deprivation therapy. LEARNING POINTS Lymphangitic metastasis of prostate cancer to the lung with diffuse reticulonodular infiltrate is a rare presentation.In chemical castration-sensitive prostate cancer, prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels can be improving but the patient can still develop new distant metastases.
