Lancet, The, 2003 BACKGROUND: Over 200000 pleural effusions are attributable to cancer in the UK and USA every year. Cytological examination of pleural fluid classifies about 60% of malignant effusions. Pleural biopsy needs to be done in the remaining cases.

Audit of pleural biopsies: an argument for a pleural biopsy service
Respiratory Medicine, 1994We audited 203 consecutive pleural biopsies performed by medical and geriatric firms over a 3-yr period in our hospital (1987-9). For firms without a special respiratory interest only two to three biopsies per yr were performed, compared with 23 per yr for a respiratory team.

Abstract Using image guidance (either CT or US), a cutting needle takes several 1–2 cm cores along the long axis of any parietal pleural pathology. PET/CT may have a role guiding pleural biopsy in patients with diffuse pleural abnormality to increase sensitivity.

ETIOLOGICAL DIAGNOSIS OF PLEURAL EFFUSION BY PLEURAL BIOPSY
Journal of the American Medical Association, 1955Pleural effusion in previously healthy, usually young adults has always posed a diagnostic problem to the medical profession. The general opinion is that 70 to 80% of such effusions represent pleural manifestations of tuberculosis1; however, a multiplicity of etiological factors account for the other 20 to 30% of pleural effusions.

Current Opinion in Pulmonary Medicine, 2013
The most efficient and cost-effective approach to pleural exudates not diagnosed by means of thoracocentesis remains uncertain. Both closed pleural biopsy and thoracoscopy may be utilized for the acquisition of pleural tissue. This review will focus on the developments in image guidance of closed pleural biopsy.Recent studies suggest that computed ...

Archives of Internal Medicine, 1958Introduction Pleural effusion is a common diagnostic problem. Many times an etiologic cause is immediately evident; however, in the remaining cases the physician may have to resort to all available methods, including thoracotomy, to arrive at a satisfactory solution.
