A solitary pulmonary metastasis of prostate cancer is not considered a surgical lesion. However, growing evidence supports that highly selected patients could benefit from metastasectomy of a solitary pulmonary metastasis. We present an exceptional case of resection of two metachronous pulmonary metastases of prostate cancer after previous radical prostatectomy, resulting in nearly undetectable prostate-specific antigen (0.04 ng/ml).
