چکیده
BACKGROUND Prostate cancer most commonly metastasizes to bones or lymph nodes, and metastatic prostate cancer is suggestive of disseminated disease. Metastatic disease is usually not amenable to surgery. CASE PRESENTATION The current report presents a unique case of in which the excision of a solitary pulmonary metastasis resulted in undetectable prostate-specific antigen. CONCLUSION This case and others suggest metastasectomy could be considered in cases with solitary metastasis, and physicians should have a careful discussion regarding risks and possible benefits from surgical excision.

Isolated Hepatic Metastasis from Prostate Carcinoma
Worldwide, prostate cancer is considered the second most common cancer in men. Most common sites for metastatic disease are lymph nodes and bones. However, isolated liver metastasis from prostate cancer is rare. We present a 75 year-old male with prostate adenocarcinoma diagnosed 7 years ago. With rising PSA, he underwent imaging and found to have isolated hepatic metastasis. After left hepatic...
متن کاملLong-Term Survival after Resection of Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma with Late Metachronous Pulmonary Metastasectomy
Objective Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma has a five year survival rate of 20% following radical surgical resection. The aggressive tumor biology and heterogenous nature of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma results in metastatic spread which further decreases overall survival. We report a patient who successfully underwent a pulmonary metastasectomy five years after the resection of a pancreati...
