Contralateral reexpansion pulmonary edema with ipsilateral collapsed lung after pleural effusion drainage: a case report
Reexpansion pulmonary edema is a rare but potentially life-threatening condition that occurs when a collapsed lung reexpands, usually in the same side of collapsed lung. We present a rare case in which a 57-year-old Korean man had a large amount of malignant pleural effusion. After undergoing tube thoracostomy drainage for the pleural effusion, a contralateral reexpansion pulmonary edema develo...
متن کاملPleural effusion in lung cancer: more questions than answers.
Lung cancer remains the most common fatal malignancy, despite more aggressive therapies. Few patients will survive 5 years, as up to 80% of the patients will present with advanced-stage disease at diagnosis.

متن کاملLung cancer and pleural effusion. Clinical significance and study of pleural metastatic locations.
We reviewed results of 78 diagnostic thoracoscopic examinations of patients with lung cancer and homolateral pleural effusion. The study stresses the main locations of pleural metastasis in cases of lung cancer and correlates these data with the pleural spread from extrathoracic primary neoplasms. Also pointed out is the operability of the present series and the different behavior in pleural me...

I report pleural effusion in a patient with silicosis of the lung and pulmonary massive fibrosis. No specific aetiology for the effusion was detected after thorough investigation and a long follow up period. I speculate that, similar to asbestosis,'2 silicosis of the lung might produce a benign pleural effusion. There are similarities in the inflammatory and exudative tissue response to both ty...
