Cavitary lung metastasis as relapse of prostate cancer.

Prostate cancer is the most common non-cutaneous malignancy diagnosed in men. It usually metastasizes to bone as osteoblastic lesions on radiographs and regional lymph nodes, and uncommonly to lung, liver and brain. Metastatic prostate cancer recurrence after definitive local therapy can occur in any tissue. The role of fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) for diagnosis of metastatic malignancies is well established in literature. We describe a 74 years old male, previously treated for localized prostate cancer, admitted to our Department after total body computed tomography revealed multiple irregular lung lesions some of which had an excavated appearance.
