“…Specifically, patients with lung metastasis tend to experience a more favorable disease course compared to other sites of visceral metastasis [8]. As in Table 1, prognosis and survival outcomes in prostate cancer lung metastasis vary significantly according to the present studies, with survival ranging from 3 to 88 months and a median survival of 26 months [13,15,17,18,20,21,[23][24][25]28,29,37,39,40,49,51,52,[62][63][64][65][66][67]69,70,[73][74][75]85,86,[91][92][93][94][95][96]. The survival outcomes depend on several factors, including the extent of metastatic spread, the aggressiveness of the disease, the presence of comorbidities, and the effectiveness of treatment interventions [76].…”

“…On X-rays, the lung metastasis usually appears as multiple round or oval-shaped nodules with calcification in some cases. However, X-rays have limitations in detecting smaller lesions and providing detailed information [26,[37][38][39][40][41]. Even though, in some cases, chest X-ray may be part of the initial diagnostic workup or used for monitoring purposes.…”

Prostate cancer lung metastasis represents a clinical conundrum due to their implication of advanced disease progression and the complexities they introduce in treatment planning. As the disease progresses to distant sites such as the lung, the clinical management becomes increasingly intricate, requiring tailored therapeutic strategies to address the unique characteristics of metastatic lesions. This review seeks to synthesize the current state of knowledge surrounding prostate cancer metastasis to the lung, shedding light on the diverse array of clinical presentations encountered, ranging from subtle radiological findings to overt symptomatic manifestations. By examining the diagnostic modalities utilized in identifying this metastasis, including advanced imaging techniques and histopathological analyses, the review aims to provide insights into the diagnostic landscape and the challenges associated with accurately characterizing lung metastatic lesions in prostate cancer patients. Moreover, the review delves into the nuances of therapeutic interventions employed in managing prostate cancer lung metastasis, encompassing systemic treatments such as hormonal therapies and chemotherapy, as well as metastasis-directed therapies including surgery and radiotherapy.

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.
