Exudative pleural effusion during sunitinib treatment

BMJ Case Reports
Drug-induced pleural effusion is one of the rare causes of exudative pleural effusion and a high index of suspicion is necessary to lead to early diagnosis. We hereby present the case of a young male in his late 30s, known case of metastatic gastrointestinal stromal tumour on sunitinib therapy, who presented with right-sided mild pleural effusion ...

Pleural Lavage: A Novel Diagnostic Approach For Diagnosing Exudative Pleural Effusion

Lung, 2000
Patients with pleural effusions frequently present a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. The diagnosis is based on the interpretation of the results of thoracentesis or pleural biopsy. When a malignant tumor metastasizes to the pleura, tumor cells can be seeded over the mesothelial surface or in the subserous layer.

Diagnostic Value of Carcinoembryonic Antigen in Exudative Pleural Effusions

Chest, 1980
Elevated pleural fluid (PF) and plasma (PL) carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) levels (ng/ml) were more frequently found with malignant than benign exudative effusions, but with a low true-positive rate for malignancy in general. Adenocarcinomatous effusions differed from other malignant and benign effusions in the frequency and degree of elevation of PF ...

Role of biochemical tests in the diagnosis of exudative pleural effusions

Clinical Biochemistry, 2005
To examine the diagnostic utility of pleural adenosine deaminase (PADA), pleural lactate dehydrogenase (PLDH), and several other biochemical tests in bronchogenic carcinoma and malignant mesothelioma, and to compare biochemical characteristics of their fluid with nonmalignant pleural effusions.This study consisted of 226 patients diagnosed with ...

Multilevel Likelihood Ratios for Identifying Exudative Pleural Effusions

Chest, 2002
To determine multilevel likelihood ratios for pleural fluid tests that are commonly used to discriminate between exudative and transudative pleural effusions.Meta-analysis of patient-level data.Selected studies included patients with diagnoses of exudative or transudative pleural effusions who underwent thoracentesis and laboratory analysis of their ...

The Role of Abrams Percutaneous Pleural Biopsy in the Investigation of Exudative Pleural Effusions

Chest, 2006
Blind percutaneous pleural biopsy has traditionally been performed to investigate the etiology of exudative pleural effusion in which the initial thoracentesis has been nondiagnostic. In view of the increasing use of image-guided and thoracoscopic pleural biopsies, this study examines the role of blind Abrams pleural biopsy in the investigation of ...
