We report an extremely rare case of 79-year-old man, who was discovered with coincidental lung metastasis of prostate cancer and primary lung cancer. The patient presented with low prostatespecific antigen and two lung lesions: one in the right lower lobe, and one in the right upper lobe, 3 years after, he was treated with external beam radiotherapy for Gleason score 4+3=7, cT3aN0M0 prostate cancer. A computed tomography-guided needle biopsy of a nodule in the right lower lobe revealed suspicious metastasis of prostate cancer. Thoracoscopic excisions of both lesions were performed, and each lung lesion was diagnosed as being metastatic prostate cancer and primary lung cancer.

The clinical diagnosis of asbestosis is primarily based on chest radiographic evidence of pleural thickening and interstitial fibrosis combined with a history of exposure to asbestos. We report herein the case of a 65-year-old man with asbestosis pathologically diagnosed after surgical lung biopsy. He had a work history including farming, cementing, and casting and was admitted with dyspnea. Chest computed tomography revealed multiple well-defined nodules in both lungs and a 4.1 cm peribronchial consolidation with fibrotic changes in the right lower lobe. We suspected metastatic lung cancer and video-assisted thoracoscopic biopsy was performed in the lung lesion of the right lower lobe. Asbestosis was confirmed following histological examination. The patient is currently completing outpatient visits without significant changes.

The metastasis of extra-mammary malignancy to breast is extremely rare; literature reports the incidence between 0.4-1.3%. Primary sites include the contralateral breast, leukaemia, lymphoma, malignant melanoma, sarcoma, lung, prostate, ovary, colon and the stomach. Here we present a rare case in which lung cancer was found to metastasise to the breast. Initially the patient presented with chest symptoms and a left breast lump was detected clinically. The radiological and histological investigations confirmed the diagnosis of primary lung cancer with breast metastases. Prognosis of such cases is generally poor.

In bilharzia-endemic areas, schistosomiasis is a common infection. Prostate cancer is also a common urological condition affecting people in both bilharzia and non-bilharzia-endemic areas. The association of these familiar conditions is infrequent and the relationship between these entities still controversial. We are adding to the literature a rare case of prostatic bilharzia on needle biopsy, and the subsequent finding of prostatic adenocarcinoma on transurethral resection of prostate specimens. Level of evidence: 4
