Abstract:
Pleural mesothelioma and carcinoma prostate as metachronous double malignancy is extremely rare co-occurrence. A 67-year-old male, diagnosed case of carcinoma prostate with bone metastasis, was treated with chemotherapy and hormone therapy. He responded well to chemotherapy and hormone therapy. He remained asymptomatic for two years with serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) values within normal limits. After two years of diagnosis of carcinoma prostate, he developed left lung pleural sarcomatoid mesothelioma as a second metachronous tumor. Malignant pleural mesothelioma as a metachronous second tumor in a case of carcinoma prostate is rarely reported in the literature. The long-life expectancy, old age, late effects of the treatment, genetic predisposition and lifestyle factors of patients with carcinoma prostate expose them to the possibility of developing second primary tumor.
