description | Prostate carcinoma is one of the most common malignancies in the elderly male population in India as well as worldwide, and its incidence has been on the rise in the younger age groups as well. The annual incidence rate of prostate cancer in India ranges from 5.0 to 9.1 per 100,000 people. It commonly metastasizes to the bone, regional lymph nodes, and in rare cases, to the lung, liver, and brain. Pulmonary manifestations of metastatic prostate carcinoma are rare with pulmonary lesions being part of the initial pattern of metastasis in only 2% of prostate malignancies. We report the case of a 53-year-old male who presented with breathlessness and hemoptysis, which was initially diagnosed as pulmonary tuberculosis and later found to be a case of metastatic prostatic adenocarcinoma. |
