Thoracic soft tissue mass and axillary and supraclavicular adenopathy as a manifestation of metastatic prostate adenocarcinoma
Keywords:
lymphatic metastasis, prostatic neoplasia, soft tissue metastasisAbstract
Prostate cancer metastases are uncommon in thoracic lymphadenopathy and in soft tissue mass.
A 82-year-old man with left hemiplegia presented a thoracic soft tissue mass and multiple thoracic lymphadenopathies. His prostate-specific antigen level was 5715 ng/mL and the fine needle aspiration of the mass confirmed the diagnosis of metastases of prostate cancer.
The comorbidity of the patient can induce a delay in the diagnosis and may favour metastases in unusual locations.
