Abstract
We report a rare case of a 59-year-old male with a history of metastatic prostate cancer presenting with acute onset dyspnea due to extensive bilateral pleural effusions. This case highlights the rarity of metastatic prostate cancer with pleural involvement and underscores the importance of accurate diagnosis using cytopathology and immunohistochemical staining.
