Prostate cancer, a common malignancy in males, can metastasize to various sites such as the bone, brain, liver, and less commonly, the lung. Detecting pulmonary metastases presents both diagnostic and therapeutic difficulties. Identifying patients with this condition is crucial for gaining a deeper comprehension of the disease's pathogenesis. In this report, we describe the case of a 64-year-old African American male who exhibited elevated prostate antigen levels and was found to have unique reticular Micronodular opacities in the lungs caused by prostate cancer.
前列腺癌是男性常见的恶性肿瘤,可转移至骨骼、大脑、肝脏等多个部位,转移至肺部的情况相对少见。检测肺转移瘤存在诊断和治疗方面的困难。识别患有这种疾病的患者对于深入了解疾病的发病机制至关重要。在本报告中,我们描述了一名64岁非裔美国男性的病例,该患者前列腺抗原水平升高,经检查发现肺部有由前列腺癌引起的独特网状微小结节状混浊。
