Malignant pleural effusion is a frequent condition with important prognostic repercussions on duration and quality of life. The neoplasms that more frequently determine pleural effusion are lung and breast cancer and pleural mesothelioma. Lymphomas, tumours of the genitourinary tract and gastrointestinal tract as a group account for a further 25 ...

Malignant pleural effusions arise from neoplastic infiltration of the pleura, and are common manifestations of cancers which arise as a primary tumor of the pleura (mesothelioma) or secondary to primary cancers from other sites. Radiological investigations should always include a staging CT thorax and often will demonstrate pleural nodularity and ...

From 1978 to 1982, 620 pleural fluid cytology specimens were examined, of which 80 were positive in 64 patients. Of these 64, three (0.5%) specimens had false-positive results. Adenocarcinoma of the lung was the most frequent (25 of 61) primary site, followed by breast (12 of 61), ovary (six of 61), and pancreas (five of 61).

Malignancy is the most common cause of exudative pleural effusion in patients over the age of 60 years. Control of the effusion significantly reduces morbidity and improves quality of life. Tube thoracostomy with subsequent chemical pleurodesis is the treatment of choice for patients with tumors that are relatively insensitive to systemic chemotherapy.
