“…In addition, bronchial metastases are rarely found during post-treatment follow-up. Four cases of bronchial metastasis recurrence have been reported after a long interval of observation following treatment [[9], [10], [11], [12]]. However, a search of the literature identified no other diagnosed recurrences after a 20-year follow-up, as in our patient.…”

A 78-year-old Japanese man who had undergone total prostatectomy for prostate cancer (pT3cN1M0, Gleason score 3 + 3) 20 years previously was referred to the Respiratory Medicine Department of our institution because of a 1-week history of chest pain and cough. Computed tomography showed multiple small nodules and mediastinal lymph node enlargement. Bronchoscopy revealed multiple soft polypoid masses and obstruction of the lingular segment. Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) concentrations had increased markedly from 0.48 ng/mL in 2014 to 741 ng/mL in 2018. The diagnosis of prostatic cancer metastases was confirmed by revealing the presence of PSA via immunohistological staining of a bronchoscopically obtained biopsy of one of the masses. The patient had not been attending scheduled follow-up visits for the past 4 years. Treatment with degarelix (a gonadotropin-releasing hormone) was started, and the PSA concentration decreased dramatically (29 ng/mL). Metastases from prostate cancer are rarely first diagnosed two decades after radical prostatectomy. This patient illustrates the importance of obtaining a complete medical history.

We report a case of a 53-year-old man who presented with twonodules in the lower lobe and one nodule in the upper lobe of theright lung almost 7 years after radical prostatectomy for pT3aN0M0,Gleason 4+5 disease, without evidence of osseous or lymphaticspread. Surgical resection of the lower lung nodules confirmedmetastases, but prostate-specific antigen did not drop to undetectablelevels. Isolated pulmonary metastases from prostate cancerare rare with only 33 previously described cases in the Englishlanguageliterature, 18 of which were solitary metastases. Wereview the principles of management, including metastasectomyand long-term prognosis.

We report a case of a 53-year-old man who presented with two nodules in the lower lobe and one nodule in the upper lobe of the right lung almost 7 years after radical prostatectomy for pT3aN0M0, Gleason 4+5 disease, without evidence of osseous or lymphatic spread. Surgical resection of the lower lung nodules confirmed metastases, but prostate-specific antigen did not drop to undetectable levels. Isolated pulmonary metastases from prostate cancer are rare with only 33 previously described cases in the English-language literature, 18 of which were solitary metastases. We review the principles of management, including metastasectomy and long-term prognosis.
