Sumario: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.
