ABSTRACT
Maximum androgen blockade is the standard endocrine treatment for advanced prostate cancer. Interstitial lung disease in different degrees of severity, with low mortality and excellent response to treatment may appear with its use.

Despite the therapeutic efforts, the patient died. Lung pathology revealed Usual Interstitial Pneumonia.
